Organic in Cyprus
No dedicated organic supermarket. But you need less organic here – local sun-ripened produce is often better than German supermarket equivalents even without certification.
Why Cypriot Produce Is Often Better
Sun-ripened (not greenhouse), short transport, intense flavor. Many small farmers use few pesticides without certification. Ask: "Valéte fármaka?" (Did you use pesticides?).
The section on "Organic in Cyprus" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
