Overcast, but still hitting 20+ so nobody’s complaining. Jane and Bill pick us up and we head south of Larnaca to the village of Kofinou. Kofinou was, before the island was divided, a mostly Turkish village, and the scene of some pretty ugly conflict. The remaining Turkish people have all been rehoused in the North, and the people of the present village are Greeks who came South after the conflict. Now Kofinou is known for several restaurants that specialise in kleftiko, and Sunday midday is a popular time to go. The beehive shaped outdoor ovens are busy, as the kleftiko is slow cooked (traditionally in clay) for five hours. With roast potatoes, salad, and beer or village wine. Very nice.
