During the lunch, we watch preparation of the dough for baking local bread and the hand-made halloumi cheese. ”Cyprus is getting protected status for its prized halloumi, giving its producers the sole ri...

Even higher

We're going higher and higher. The serpentines do not impress us much - after an hour of driving, we gain confidence in the driver and we hope that nothing threatens us.
