Vegans Have It Better Than Expected

Traditional fasting cuisine (Nistísima): centuries-old vegan. Fresh farmers market produce spectacular. Growing vegan restaurant scene in Limassol/Nicosia.

Where to Eat Vegan

Vegan restaurants: Limassol (several), Nicosia (growing). Every taverna: hummus, tahini, fakes, gemista. Say "Nistísimo" – waiter understands. Falafel stands. Supermarkets: growing vegan range. Farmers market: best source, 30-50% cheaper.

This was exactly our experience: Farmers market: best source, 30-50% cheaper.

Daily Tips

Cook at home: market produce + olive oil + spices = best vegan food. No good halloumi replacement (tofu/tempeh closest). Tell Cypriot hosts in advance you're vegan. Facebook: "Vegan Cyprus" for tips.
