Cypriot cuisine has been influenced by its long history and geographic position between Europe, Asia and Africa. Over the centuries, Greek civilization, foreign rulers like the Arabs and Ottomans, and a favorable climate for agriculture have all contributed to blending food traditions. Some iconic Cypriot foods include halloumi cheese, smoked lountza pork, and traditional dishes like gemista stuffed vegetables and trachanas wheat porridge. While Western influences are growing, Cypriots continue to enjoy their distinctive local Mediterranean diet centered around olive oil, vegetables, fish and wines.

Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine that has been passed down through generations. It is influenced by Greece's geography, with dishes changing depending on the season and between coastal and mountainous areas. Food and social interaction are deeply ingrained in Greek culture, with meals bringing families and communities together for important events.

With over 20% of Greece made up of islands, seafood is also a staple. Dishes include bean soups, pies, salads like Greek salad, tzatziki, and main dishes of meat
The history of greek food
The history of Greek cuisine has been influenced by many civilizations over time. It was originally based on wheat, olive oil, wine, and later incorporated vegetables, lentils, cheeses, and meats like pork. Common meals included breakfasts of bread dipped in wine and pancakes, and dinner in the evenings. Under the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman rule, Greek cuisine absorbed influences but maintained traditional dishes like soups, pastries, and seafood. To this day, Greeks enjoy foods descended from their ancient roots.
The effect of geographical location on our countrie's food
The geographic diversity of Greece, with its long coastline, mountains, islands, and valleys, led to diverse local crops and cuisine defined by microclimates. Dishes from different regions include pies made with local cheeses from Epirus, meat and vegetable stews from Macedonia, Italian-influenced fried meats and fish dishes from the Ionian islands, and rice and meat dishes featuring local products from Crete like grapes, olives, and herbs. Coastal areas are known for simply prepared seafood like squid, octopus, and sardines cooked with olive oil and lemon. The varied geography of Greece results in distinctive regional cuisines based on local ingredients.

Larnaca Waste Water Treatment
This document discusses the waste water treatment process at the Larnaca Waste Water Treatment Plant in Cyprus. It describes the various treatment stages, including primary treatment using screens and grit removal, secondary treatment using oxidation ditches and settlement tanks, tertiary treatment using rapid sand filters and chlorination, and sludge handling including thickening, aerobic digestion, and drying. The treated water is used for irrigation and sludge is transported to fields for agricultural use according to limits for metal concentrations. Monitoring of soil is conducted before and every six months after sludge application.
The Exhaustion of Water
The document discusses natural resources and water usage. It notes that most of Earth's water is salty ocean water, while only 3% is fresh water for human use. Most fresh water is used for agriculture (70%) and industry (23%), with only a small amount left for domestic use. The document forecasts that population growth, pollution, and lack of education will exacerbate water scarcity issues in developing countries in the future. Conservation measures like recycling water and using buckets instead of running taps can help address this problem.
Soil Erosion
The document discusses environmental pollution and soil erosion in the Mediterranean Sea region. It describes how soil erosion is caused by water, wind, gravity and frozen-melt processes and impacts agriculture, weather, nutrient levels, sea levels and ecosystems. Some solutions proposed include contour ploughing, strip farming and terracing slopes to sustain crop yields, retain nutrients and improve water quality. Everyone must work to protect the planet.
Flora and Fauna of Cyprus Eco Map
Cyprus has a rich biodiversity due to its varied landscapes and location between three continents. It is home to over 1900 plant species, including 143 endemic species, most found in the Troodos and Pentadactylos mountain ranges. Many endemic plant species are threatened due to human activities. Cyprus' fauna includes 39 mammal species, 381 bird species, 24 reptile species, and over 5000 insect species. Threatened fauna include the Cyprus mouflon sheep, and 9 endemic butterfly species. The island is an important stop for bird migration between Europe and Africa.
Desalination
Cyprus relies heavily on desalination plants for its water supply due to decreasing rainfall and frequent droughts. Two major desalination plants were constructed in Larnaca and Dhekelia in 1997 and 2001 respectively, which now provide over 90% of the water supply to Nicosia, Larnaca and Famagusta. Additional plants are planned for Limassol and Paphos. While desalination has significantly increased water availability, it requires large amounts of energy and results in increased air pollution, posing environmental challenges.
Agenda 21
The document discusses environmental pollution and presents an agenda to address it at a local school. It notes that industrial waste and emissions have reached dangerous levels and harm the biosphere. The agenda proposes bringing recycling bins to the school, planting trees, and collecting plastic bottles and aluminum tins for recycling to help solve pollution problems at the school level. The phenomenon of pollution is presented as very important for everyone to address before it's too late.
Cyprus Folklore in Today's Life
Cyprus folklore still plays an important role in everyday life. Traditional Cypriot architecture, decorative items, food storage and preparation, work gadgets, cuisine, weddings, customs, dances, instruments and music help preserve Cyprus' cultural heritage and attract visitors. The traditional Cypriot house was built with local materials to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Utensils were made from local materials like bronze, copper, wood and ceramics. Food was stored in large urns and prepared in outdoor clay ovens using fresh, local ingredients.

- 5. Today, it is universally accepted that products from Mediterranean countries and the Mediterranean diet, represent an excellent choice in gourmet cuisine.

Traditional smoked Lountza is usually served uncooked, sliced or cubed along with a selection of other meat and cheese delicacies
- 14. This is a strange but delicious vegetable. It looks like a sweet potato type root vegetable. It has a magnificent texture and a fascinating taste. You cannot cut it with a knife, as it becomes slimy, but you have to break it into pieces before cooking. It is often served in a tomato sauce and is well worth trying to find.
- 25. Although Cypriots have lived on and enjoyed their version of Mediterranean diet for centuries, today in a world of even more uniform tastes and a gradual shift to Western style food habits, the effort to retain customary loyalty to distinctive local food and wines, becomes increasingly harder.
