CYPRUS CHOCOLATES
Read moreThis chocolate factory, founded by an Englishman in the 1980s, is now run by three Russians. Good chocolates made from cocoa from Africa and Latin America are produced and sold here. A Cypriot touch is added with orange zest, tahini, zivania or "Aphrodite's cream" made from honey, royal jelly and cream. Chocolate-making courses are also available (prices and bookings on the website). Next door, a French-style bakery and patisserie has recently opened.
OURANIA DELIGHTS
Read moreLocated in a house with candy-pink walls, down the street leading to the village center, this confectionery specializes in "Foini loukoums" (Φοινιώτικο Λουκούμι/Finiotiko Loukoumi, Foini Delights). Sweet, crunchy and tangy... Ourania Pissourou has taken over the recipe for bergamot and roasted almond loukoums from her uncle Phylactis Pilavakis, who made them in Cairo in the 1930s. She happily opens her modern laboratory to anyone who wants to visit (tours in English) and even offers free tastings of her products.
