This little family tavern is the one where we eat usually when we visit Keryneia. They are very kind, polite and unlike other restaurants in the harbor they are really local, serving fresh home made delicious Turkish food. It is just behind the main shopping street in Kyrenia. They serve only 3 different kinds of food as you could guess from their name :-) Cig börek, manti and gözleme.

Sekerpare is a good solution, when you want to prepare something sweet, fast and easy but still special. It’s not a good idea though if you bring it when you are visiting Greeks (from my own experience). I was hoping they wont find out… didn’t work… But it’s definitely unique! I  got the recipe from a friend, who has a Turkish husband. The recipe is Turkish but you will find similar sweets in the whole Mediterranean area. Most of them are prepared with semolina. I do it my way: with only wholemeal flour and I also add vanilla to the dough and cinnamon to the syrup.
