Pack your bags and grab your tasting spoon because I am taking you on a culinary journey to my beautiful island of Cyprus. This Mediterranean island is known for its diverse, stunning landscapes and rich history. Its impressive culinary scene has become a paradise for food enthusiasts worldwide.

Tuscany, in all its glory, was the highlight of our trip to Italy. On spring vacation, my husband Dino and I, along with two of our closest friends from Cyprus, visited Italy. After arriving in Florence by train from Rome, we rented a car and headed to Pelago, a hilltop village about forty minutes away.

I adore the city of Athens and its rich culinary heritage. Despite its age, this city never feels old to me. I lose myself in its charming streets and vibrant culture each time I visit. The cozy neighborhoods are filled with locals who take great pride in preserving their history and arts, creating a unique and authentic cultural and culinary paradise.

My first food surprise during my visit to Costa Rica was the caldosa ceviche. It's a fun treat for kids and adults alike. On our way from the airport to our cousin's house, we stopped in Ciudad Colón at a small eatery where we had to try the pupusas-stuffed tortillas that Audrey insisted were a must.
