A spoonful of tradition: honey making in Cyprus
February 28, 2020
Earlier this month it was Lefkara, with all of its lace and ‘ttavas’, that was in the spotlight thanks to Mission Tradition, a European Solidarity Corps project created by YEU Cyprus looking to promote cultural heritage in Cyprus.
Now, with another planned visit in the works, Mission Tradition wants to highlight another of our country’s products – namely, Cyprus honey. That’s why on March 22 they will be heading to Kalopanayiotis for a day excursion, a workshop and a visit to the village. And you can join them too.
“Honey has been produced in Cyprus for many years, in many varieties, and in ways that have changed with the times,” says Mission Tradition. “We have done our research and organised a day full of activities in the village of Kalopanayiotis, where our local host – a honey producer of many years’ standing – will teach us about honey, the local traditions, flavours and environment.”
