Milijis
Milijis is a traditional Larnaca taverna serving classic Greek-Cypriot cuisine. The owners have been in the business since 1932 and are known for delectable dishes cooked in their wood-fire oven. A perfect introduction to the joys of local food. 42 Pigiale Pasa Avenue, Larnaca, +357 24 655 867

Moti Mahal
It’s not hard to find a decent fish restaurant or traditional taverna in Larnaca, but finding authentic Indian is next to impossible, which is why stylish Moti Mahal is justifiably popular. If the Indian dishes don’t appeal, opt for a platter of appetisers, or simply a drink on the sunny terrace. 52 Phinikoudes Promendade, Larnaca seafront, +357 70 004 484

Zanetto’s
Without a recommendation you’d walk right past this traditional eatery in Nicosia’s old town, and without a reservation you’d find yourself waiting for a while. While the ramshackle exterior and seemingly tiny interior are off-putting, once inside you’ll be pleased to see the crammed room opens onto large buzzy dining rooms, crammed with locals and friendly waiters delivering the tastiest mezedhes in Cyprus. 65 Trikoupi Street, Nicosia Old Town, +357 22 765 501

Suitcase Fillers

Cyprus Handicraft Centre
This is the best place to buy traditional souvenirs. The quality of workmanship is superb; you’re assured it’s an original handmade item and not a cheap rip-off. Expect everything from exquisite Lefkara lace and embroidery, and traditional Lefkoniko woven textiles. 25 Themidos Street, Limassol, +357 25 305 118

At Your Leisure

Pierides Foundation Museum
This impressive display of archaeological finds, Byzantine treasures and costumes, jewellery, crafts and weapons was once the private collection of the Pierides family, who started collecting these wonderful objects to prevent them from leaving the country. 4 Zinonos Kitieos Street, Larnaca, +357 24 814 555
