Further to the price of sweet things in Cyprus. A single iced doughnut costs a euro sixty five at the bakery down the street, and that´s not unusual. That´s $2.75 CAD of one pound fifty UK. By comparison, a litre box of Spanish wine - young vin tres ordinaire, but perfectly drinkable - can be had for a euro fifteen ($1.95 CAD or just over a pound UK). Impossible to explain.
