His reasoning is simply that with no smoke given off from the charcoal used in the barbeque, no carbon dioxide is being emitted into the atmosphere and the meat avoids being smoked-out by carcinogenic fumes. Parmatzis began work on the idea in , and it took 3 years before it was up and running. It is then lit with a blow torch and covered with a lid. When the coals are glowing it is time to place the skewers of meat or fish into position. Meanwhile charcoal consumption is minimal, as 2.

The roe is either mixed with bread crumbs or mashed potatoes. Parsley, onion, lemon juice, olive oil and vinegar are added and it is seasoned with salt and pepper. Tahini Shoushoukos is a traditional sweet made out of grape juice.

Alternative self-catering accommodation is offered in restored traditional houses in picturesque villages all over Cyprus through the government Agrotourism initiative.
Work[ edit ] Cyprus' climate and natural advantages mean that there is always a steady supply of travellers seeking employment and residency on the island. Perhaps the biggest change that has occurred has been the accession of southern Cyprus to the European Union on 1 May , opening up new employment opportunities for European citizens. The burgeoning Cypriot tourism industry, however, means that there is a huge seasonal demand for temporary workers of most nationalities during the summer months, with a definite preference for English-speaking workers in order to service the very large numbers of British tourists.
The Greek Cypriot south remains the best overall bet for jobs, as the South is where the majority of the tourist trade is located. The Turkish North is much harder to get work in as a traveler, as the local economy is in a precarious position and high local unemployment means competition for work is fierce.
Seasonal employment will most probably involve working in one of the countless bars, hotels and resort complexes of the south. Such work is usually poorly paid, but accommodation is often thrown in as some compensation and the Cypriot lifestyle usually makes up for low wages.
Many holiday companies employ 'reps' representatives and marketing staff to assist their operations on the island - this work is usually more financially rewarding. Finally, Cyprus' ongoing construction boom in tourism infrastructure results in a demand for skilled builders and tradespeople. Learn[ edit ] If you are considering an extended stay on the island, there are a number of educational courses that you can take.
Popular options include Greek language courses and arts courses. Most will have a tuition fee attached, and EU nationals should not have any visa problems.

Cars and houses frequently go unlocked. That said however, it is wise to be careful when accepting drinks from strangers, especially in Ayia Napa , since there have been numerous occasions of muggings.

Some of my finest moments have been eating my first grilled octopus and sipping my first ouzo after getting off the plane from the states and waiting for the ferry in Lavrion. The best octopus is grilled, provided it is done right and is tender. In Sifnos, Nick at Kamari Ouzerie, boils it first and then grills it, serving it with oil, lemon and oregano and I have never had a bad one of the dozens I have eaten there.
Octopus is also served marinated and this is also good, though I prefer the grilled as do most people even if you have to wait a little longer for it. You don't have to go to Sifnos for grilled octopus. It is served at Naxos in Psiri and in just about every traditional ouzerie-mezedopoulion and fish taverna in and around Athens. Fried kalamarakia are served in most ouzeries and all fish tavernas and tourist restaurants and they are an OK meze but I tend to eat them too quickly as we do with fried food sometimes.
Thalia's ouzerie serves galeos me skordalia shark with garlic sauce and this makes a nice meze too. Many ouzeries and many restaurants in the tourist areas will have on the menu a seafood pikilea which is an assortment of seafood on a big platter, usually with a few other appetisers since a giant plate full of just seafood would cost a fortune.
But if you have a carafe of ouzo one of these will keep 2 to 4 people busy for awhile and it will give you an idea of what is available and next time you can order things individually since you may not like everything on your plate. Plus most of it is fried. They also do meat pikileas or a mixture.
I think it is better to just order whatever fish is in season and is good fried, like gavros anchovies , marides smelt garides shrimp or sardeles sardines grilled or fried. Saganaki is either grilled or fried cheese and makes a terrific meze that you can easily make at home. A simple fried saganaki is a piece of kasseri cheese deep-fried and seasoned with lemon. The more complex saganakis are with tomato sauce and either mussels, shrimp, pastourma or whatever the specialty is, in a small casserole dish usually broiled in the oven.
A simple saganaki you can make at home is Rolando's secret recipe from his restaurant in Kea. You take a slice of feta, cover it with oil and a little oregano, ground pepper or paprika, and broil it until it gets brown on top. Take it out and squeeze some lemon on it and eat it with bread.
Another popular cheese meze is tiro kafteri, a soft cheese, usually feta, but seasoned with hot peppers. There are a number of fried balls that are served as mezedes. In Santorini you have the tomato keftedes fried tomato balls , and in Sifnos you have the fried revithia keftdes chickpea balls , and in some places you have the kolokithea keftedes photo which are fried zucchini balls.
But for me there is nothing as good as the true keftedes, the small meatballs that are seasoned with mint and onions and are deep-fried. But you can have keftdes made from just about anything including psarokeftedes fish , octopodikeftedes octopus , kotokeftedes chicken , hortokeftedes wildgreens , kavourikeftdes crab and prassokeftdes leeks.
Loukaniko sausages make great mezedes and if they are on the menu I will order them which is one reason my cholesterol is so elevated. Pastourma heavily seasoned smoked beef sliced makes an easy meze if you are sitting on your hotel balcony with a glass of ouzo watching the sunset. Add a few olives and a piece of cheese and you have a meze you can eat anywhere. There are a variety of small pitas which are triangles made with phyllo dough and filled with anything from feta cheese to ground beef, spinach, lambs liver or even pastourma.
But if you get this as part of a large pikilia it will most likely be cheese. Stuffed grape leaves are a popular mezedes as are stuffed zucchini flowers on Lesvos. Bourekakia are served in Lesvos and these go back to the Ottomans. They are cheese filled pastry rolls usually deep fried. Fried or grilled peppers are a popular mezedes, especially the Florina peppers stuffed with cheese. The spicier the cheese the more I like it but unless you are traveling in Northern Greece it is unlikely to be to hot to handle.
Volvi which are the bulbs of the tassled hyacinth that are pickled are eaten during the sarokostiani, the 40 days of fasting for lent make a good meze. The big dips are skordalia which is made from garlic and bread or potatoes and goes with bakaliaro fried cod , galeos shark , and badzaria beets but tastes great on bread too. The same goes for sadziki which most people know as the white yogurt-cucumber-garlic sauce that comes on souvlaki but is just as good as a dip for fried kolokithea zucchini and melitzana eggplant and on bread.
Melitzana salata eggplant salad , fava yellow split pea puree , and tarama salata fish roe salad are also popular mezedes. Some great places to get traditional no frills mezedes, if you can't get to the remote villages of Lesvos, are in the working class cafes in or near the fish and meat markets in Athens and on the bigger islands. What you are served in Lesvos won't be the same as you get in Volos though both areas are famous for their mezedes. Recently there has been an awakening of traditional drinking behavior and many ouzeries or need have opened in Athens and on the islands and all over the mainland.
These are restaurants that specialize in ouzo and meze and can have a variety of local snacks or even snacks from all over Greece and Asia Minor. Of course even if you go to the simplest old-man cafeneon with bare walls and a few guys sitting around and laying cards and order an ouzo you will probably get a meze, usually something simple: a slice of tomato and cucumber, an olive or two, a piece of cheese, maybe a canned sardine or an anchovy.
In Lesvos in the traditional villages where few tourists venture you get a plate of food with your ouzo and this can be anything that the cafe owner or his wife has made for that day, a small salad, some goat cheese and olive oil or in the case of my wife's aunt Aglaia, a hot plate of tsikotakia which means liver but is actually the liver and everything else that was left over from the sheep that her son the butcher slaughtered that day.
So lets start with some of my favorite mezedes. For me the best is sardeles pastes, which if you have read the section on fish , you know that these are the small seasonal sardines which are salted in the morning and eaten that night, raw, like sushi, on the island of Lesvos.
They can be served plain or with lemon and olive oil. If you are a sardine-anchovy kind of person you will love them. If not, well you should try them anyway because you never know. You can find them in July in Lesvos at just about any restaurant. You can also buy them in the market in Mytilini but be warned that if you do, there is a procedure you need to go through to remove the salt, the skin and the guts that will make your hotel bathroom or kitchen a smelly mess.
You are better off ordering it in a restaurant or ouzerie. My daughter eats these by the dozen even though she does not drink ouzo proving you don't have to drink to enjoy raw sardines. You won't find them in Athens or on all the islands. In fact I have only had them in Lesvos though there is no reason why they should not have them in Evia where sardines are also plentiful.
Gavros Marinatos photo are marinated anchovies in oil, lemon and oregano and these are available all over Greece, even in the supermarkets. The best may be at The Captain's Table in Molyvos, Lesvos but I have had these all over and have never had a bad plate. Lakerda is bonito tuna, marinated for a few days in olive oil and served with lemon.
You can get this fresh in Lesvos but every time I have ordered it in Athens or on other islands even though they said it was fresh it was either from a can or too salty. Good lakerda is not salty. It should have some red in it and not be gray like the canned fish which you can also buy in Greek supermarkets or at the Athens Central Market. Fresh clams or mussels make an amazing meze though you may have to travel to Evia or Volos for the clams.
Most people say that octopodi octopus is the best meze for ouzo, especially when you are sitting by the sea. It is hard to disagree with them. Some of my finest moments have been eating my first grilled octopus and sipping my first ouzo after getting off the plane from the states and waiting for the ferry in Lavrion.
The best octopus is grilled, provided it is done right and is tender. In Sifnos, Nick at Kamari Ouzerie, boils it first and then grills it, serving it with oil, lemon and oregano and I have never had a bad one of the dozens I have eaten there.
