Sunday, March 24/2019




We’ve planned a Sunday meal at Zygi, a fishing village down the coast, actually more than half way to Limassol. Bit cloudy, and chances of rain depend on which forecast you choose believe, so we go with optimism. We’re booked for one o’clock at Santa Elena fish taverna, located in a former carob mill. Very busy, as it’s not only Sunday  but a long weekend. Happily, we seem to be the only non-Cypriots there - always a good sign. We go for the fish meze - not inexpensive, but a feast for the eyes and more than filling. Sea bream. Shrimp saganaki, red snapper, squid cooked in own ink, shrimp, mussels, octopus, unnamed but tasty little fish, salad, chips, and more. Plenty of seating outside, but the odd spit of rain so we opt against. Drive back on the coastal route and Jane buys strawberries from a small place along the way.
