Tours, Demonstrations & Markets

Food Tours

The LTB and the 'Women's Association of Larnaka' (WARL) have created a Traditional Gastronomy Route that takes in Larnaka region's quaint, rustic villages and their gastronomic delights for a self-guided tour of the tastebuds! Discover the traditional secrets of some of the island's favourite food, and sample it fresh.

‘Cyprus Taste Tours’ is a guided journey of the senses to various authentic restaurants and coffee shops in Larnaka by foot, via the old streets. Along the way you will enjoy a number of traditional dishes and delicacies, as well as a warm Cypriot welcome.

Cooking Demonstrations

A number of cooking demonstrations and workshops are available across the region and offer an alternative and authentic experience that always ends with tasting the finished product!

Options include private and group sessions, as well as drop-in demonstrations at some venues. From traditional cheese making and baking seasonal treats, to honey-themed dishes and joining in with the annual harvests, you can discover the true tastes of the island. Choose your experience from the list here.
