Great video guys! Just a small correction: the Thing you called Cypriot sausage, it’s called sheftalia and it is minced meat with herbs wrapped with the membrane that surrounds the stomach of pig/lamb. Glad you liked our food!! Take care guys

[@official_sez9624]

Great video, I’d just like to add that Cypriot, Turkish and Greek Cypriots, are not the same as Turkish or Greek people, all Cypriots share a heritage, culture and traditions with eachother xx

[@andrewwilson9420]

Another brilliant video guys well done for the food tour , nice to see you enjoying cyprus.

What a feast!! This must be the most awesome underrated destination 🤩🤩

[@dabbleandtravel]

It was unreal! 🥰😍

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

So glad you enjoyed the Meze - the sausages are called SHEFTALIA. There is a restaurant in Larnaca called Melitzis that make incredible Lamb Kleftico (cooked all night in clay ovens).

[@kayacenk4164]

lol how they be better than Turkish food? when their names is Turkish :D they all Turkish food too even they not change their names they just add - i to food. example cacık become cack -i there :D all of them turkish food :D

[@dabbleandtravel]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@eliassolomou980]

@@kayacenk4164 history books say Turks originally from the stepes of siberia/ Mongolia. They have olives, halloumi and vine leaf there? What about calamari and fish? What about kolokas? If some foods have a Turkish name it's because Greeks were Turkish slaves for 400 years. Anyway having said that can everybody agree that good food, good drink, good music and dance is the real international language that brings everybody together?

[@c22danielle]

wrong! because sheftalia is a minced meat wraped in caul fat

[@redgoals5701]

How to pronounce halloumi:The ou part is pronounced oo as in book or look not as in loom or room.

@@samio4166 mate, I know a couple of facts: it takes 2 to break a relationship. Blaming one side has never solved problems. Most important fact is humans are ignorant. If Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are too stubborn to realize they live on the island of Cyprus and they can't reconcile to live together as a pack of ants on this little planet, so be it. People are not known for wise decisions throughout the history, makes this just another random page in the book.

Nice to have you in our island. Thank you for your videos. At 8.01 this is a Cypriot traditional food called SIEFTALIA 🥰 I wish I have met you in person during your staying to take you for a tour to our villages and to have a lunch with us with home traditional food from my 80 years mother and to feel the spirit of our hospitality. My mother always treat our guests when gifts like almonds, trahana, raisin, jam and zivania 😍 Maybe next time. Just a kind suggestion. Your title at the end that the food in Norther Cyprus is cheaper with the word Turkey in brackets its not correct. Cyprus is an Independent Country as a whole. North, south east and west. Turkey is another country. Turkey invaded our island violating all rules of international law and norther part of our island is occupied by force. Big Hugs, stay healthy and be always happy 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

There is no North and South Cyprus. There is only the Republic of Cyprus. North Cyprus is a de facto state that comprises the northeastern portion of the island of Cyprus, which has no universal recognition . The Turkish Army maintains a large force in Northern Cyprus illegally and has occupied that part over the use of violence since 1974. But either way, I hope you enjoyed the Cyprus delicacies.

Actually you know that internationally is illegal to fly to the Northern occupied part of Cyprus right? If you try to cross to the free area of the Republic of Cyprus you can be arrested and sentenced to jail for entering the borders of the Republic of Cyprus from illegal entering points (The Airport in Northern Cyprus is illegal and not recognised internationally as Northern Cyprus too that's why there are flights only from Turkey, because it is considered to be part of the FIR of Nicosia and occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus)

When you roast lamb for a few hours in the oven or spit roasted, and fully cooked, you don't have the smell that is there from lamb that is cooked for a few minutes and served medium rare. Most professional cooks don't know how to cook lamb properly.

Hello guys, I hope you are enjoying your staying in my island, just have in mind that there is only one island, one recognized covernment, and a turkish occupation of the north part for 47 years now...cheaper destination?maybe but... illegal and against human rights...people are still suffering from the results of the turkish invation so be careful with the comnents...

[@samio4166]

Forgot massacre and ethnic cleansing by Enosis ? This is the reason why Turkey intervened. Don‘t forget that. Remember who tried a fascist coup.

[@Ural77]

What is actually against human rights is the atrocities committed by the Greek EOKA terrorists and the Cypriot national guard. Google Cengiz Topel.

[@jrelena]

@@samio4166 This isn't the right place for political comments. It's a video for holidays and fun. But we have to explain that the country called Republic of Cyprus and only in this way the country became member of EU etc. Cyprus is a recognised country. "Northern Cyprus" is not.Many Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cyprus are friends and both of communities have commons. One of them...food. Most of Turkish Cyprus are Muslim, but they eat pork and shieftalia. Anyway... the point is that some tourists travelled for holidays in Cyprus and they're trying to explain them that there's is only one country which called Cyprus. Believe me, i know many Turkish Cyprus and there's no problem between as. But the visitors have to know. If someone wants to analyse history and the political part is better to comment on another video. Have a nice day.

@@jrelena I mean the glorious Turkish Flag which you can see from the other side of the border tells a different story but you do you.

You must definitely visit Famagusta and kyrenia in North Cyprus better food,better quality and %50 cheaper 😉the mezes you tried are peanut compare to Turkish Cypriot mezes😃 better quality and %50 cheaper 😉

[@andrei-cosmin.popa85]

It's cheaper, all right. Quality is generally lesser, and I'm being generous when I say that. Best food I had in that de facto state of TRNC is close to the border, in Nicosia or what you'd call Lefkosa. Mind you, biggest reason why everything's cheaper is because mama Turkey's high inflation as a result of poor decisions in regards to interest rates, which should not be part of presidential prerogative in this century we live in 🤣
