Sweet Tradition

SWEET TRADITION

Lunchtime isn’t complete without the grand finale: “popaston”. It’s another charming Italian word that has made its way into the Cypriot lexicon, meaning ‘dessert.’ It translates to ‘after lunch,’ and it’s the sweet touch that seals the deal after a satisfying meal.

Giagia Victoria, Paul’s, Pralina.

Now, as the sun sets over Nicosia and the night starts to sizzle (or even if it doesn’t), why not indulge your sweet cravings with a tempting treat? Heraclis ice – cream, Papafilipou and Regis ice-cream offer an array of original handcrafted ice cream flavors that will make your taste buds dance the tango. So, whether you’re winding down or turning up the heat, there’s always room for something sweet in this culinary journey.
