What better way to explore the city you are holidaying in than to live it as a local? Indulge in local dishes, visit local landmarks, visit traditional spots and mingle with the locals! You will surely have a memorable experience!

Eat like a local and try Ofto Kleftiko! It is well-known that the Cypriot adore their food and so their cuisine surely lies in the heart of their culture. Cypriot cuisine is so distinct and delicious because it has been influenced by surrounding countries like Lebanon and Greece. The use of spices, fresh vegetables and olive oil characterises the Cypriots’ food! Ofto Kleftiko is an amazingly delicious dish made with pieces of lamb, potatoes and herbs. It is traditionally baked in ceramic pots, which is put in the Cypriot outdoor stone ovens and left to be baked. Yummy!

Splish splash like a local and head for Lara Beach! One of the most gorgeous beaches on the island is Lara Beach, which is found on the Akamas Peninsula in Paphos. This magical bay is home to the Caretta Caretta turtles, which are protected in the area. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the beach; you will be dazzled by its natural beauty! Enjoy the magical scenery of Lara Beach, which splendour is an untouched jewel of nature and who knows, you may be one of the lucky ones who witness the wonders of nature.

Drink like a local and set off on a Wine Route and explore the countryside! Driving along the Diarizos River in Paphos district, you will be enthralled by the untouched nature and serene scenery while visiting the lovely vineyards along the way. Compared to the other vineyards in Cyprus, Diarizos Valley is less well known as it is not in the mountains. Mingle with the hospitable locals, stare in awe at the beauty of the landscape that surrounds the area and sip on the local wine! While touring you will pass through timeless traditional villages, where the locals still maintain the traditional way of life, so stop and explore the villages, marvel at the charismatic stone-made houses and beautiful scenery.
