At various ancient and holy places around the island of cyprus it is not uncommon to find a tree or bush festooned with strips of cloth, rags and handkerchieves.

There are various traditions behind this, but the most common is for someone to wish to be cured of an illness. By tying the rag to the tree, the tree absorbs the illness and the person is cured when the rag falls off. Often, people looking for a quick cure use tissue paper!

The Philloxera beetle, decimated European vineyards in the 1860’s and 1870’s after arriving on vine samples shipped from the USA, never reached cyprus, the only place in Europe it didn’t. This has meant that the indigenous vines have continued to grow undisturbed on their own rootstocks, often for a hundred or even a hundred and fifty years with the black Mavro grape, which makes up the bulk of most red wines in cyprus remaining unique. Other grape varieties used in Cypriot wines include the more pungent, higher acidity varieties Maratheftiko and Ofthalmo making interesting reds and Xynisteri, the main wine grape, which makes the majority of white wines in cyprus.

One of the most unusual but commonly seen traditional sweets in cyprus is Soutjouko, prounced sheh-SHOO-keh, which looks like long strings of green wax candles! It is made from almonds or walnuts which are repeatedly dipped in grape must, the juice from pressed grapes before fermentation.The grapes are taken, pressed, and their juice is then cooked for 90 minutes.

The liquid mixture is simmered and flour is added to thicken it. Once the juice is thick enough, threaded almonds are dipped into the mixture. They are then left to dry, before being repeatedly dipped into the mixture. The sweet is of such uniqueness to the island that cyprus has applied for Protected Designation of Origin product status which would place it alongside Champagne, Melton Mowbrey Pork Pies and Stilton Cheese.
