vi. Još jedan mit kaže da ga je Marko Antonije poklonio svo - joj obožavanoj Kleopatri, a da je ova egipatska lepotica bi - lje sa ostrva koristila da pravi opojne parfeme. Halumi i komandarija Znate onaj divni sir što, kad je svež, škripi pod zubima, a kad se isprži ili baci na gril, rasteže se i topi u ustima? Da, Kipar je dom halumija koji se pravi od kozjeg mleka i kojem je Evrop- ska unija dodelila laskavu eti - ketu – halumi je halumi samo ako je sa Kipra! Služi se svu - da na ostrvu, čak i u fast fud restoranima, a ide uz salatu, hleb, maslinovo ulje i sa slat - kom marmeladom! Osim toga, za kiparsko desertno vino ka- žu da je najstarije na svetu! Sa izuzetno povoljnim položajem, perfektnim zemljištem i veli - kim brojem sunčanih dana, Ki - par je idealno mesto za uzgoj vinove loze. Čuvena komanda - rija sadrži sve sastojke Kipra: med, trave, vanilu, začine i su - šeno voće. Ono je poput pro - zora u kiparsku dušu, kažu lo - kalni enolozi. Zato neka vam zaškripi halumi pod zubima i vino sklizne sve do same ki- parske suštine... Zaliv smokava i Aja Napa „Fig tree bay“ najuređenija je, najčistija i najlepša plaža na Kipru. Sitan pesak, duboka, či - sta voda prepuna malih i veli - kih riba koje plivaju sa vama. Kafići na dugačkom šetalištu, masaža na plaži, sve što je po - trebno za totalnu uživanciju. Za one koji vole malo luđi ku - panjac, tu je zaliv Famaguste i turističko carstvo, gradić Aja Napa. Glasna muzika, mnogo mladih ljudi, sve nijanse pla - ve na plažama Nisi, Landa, Makronisos... Ovo su samo fragmenti – ako imate auto, istražite kiparsku obalu, iza svakog ćoška čeka neka pre - divna uvala, a more je svuda i toplo i čisto.
cessed by car or on foot. And you can still see that foam to- day, where the restless sea splashes against the rocks. Le- gend has it that swimming aro- und Aphrodite's rock three ti- mes will lead to you standing at the altar in the coming year. So, take a dip here if you’re re- ady for marriage... Aphrodite nonetheless isn’t the only reason Cyprus is ca- lled the island of love. Another myth claims that Mark Antony gifted the island to his beloved Cleopatra, and that this beauti- ful Egyptian queen used herbs from the island to make intoxi- cating perfumes. Halloumi and Commandaria You know that wonderful chee- se that squeaks under the teeth when fresh and that melts in the mouth when fried or grilled? Yes, Cyprus is the home of halloumi, a goat's mi- lk cheese that’s been granted a flattering protected designa- tion of origin label by the Eu- ropean Union according to whi- ch halloumi is only halloumi if it comes from Cyprus! It is ser- ved all over the island, even at fast food joints, and accom- panies salad, bread and olive oil, but also sweet marmala- de! Apart from this delicacy, a Cypriot dessert wine is said to be the world’s oldest! Thanks to its extremely favourable lo-
cation, perfect soil and a large number of sunny days, Cyprus is ideal for vine growing. The famous Commandaria des- sert wine contains all the ingre- dients of Cyprus: honey, herbs, vanilla, spices and dried fruits. According to local oenologists, it is like a window into the soul of Cyprus. So, let the halloumi squeak under your teeth and let the wine slide down to the very essence of Cyprus... Fig Tree Bay and Ayia Napa Fig tree bay is Cyprus’s most orderly, cleanest and most be- autiful beach. It’s fine sand gi - ves way to deep and clear wa- ter that’s packed with small and large fish that will swim with you. There are cafés along an extended promena- de and massages available on the beach – everything you need for total enjoyment. For those who enjoy slightly mo- re adventurous swimming, there’s Famagusta Bay and the tourist empire that is the small town of Ayia Napa. Lo- ud music, throngs of young people, all shades of blue on the Nissi, Landa and Makro- nissos beaches... These are just fragments, but if you ha- ve a car you can explore the entire Cypriot coast, where you are awaited by beautiful bays around every corner, whi- le the sea is warm and clean everywhere.
