Did you know that in Cyprus there are many fresh herbs, roots and vegetables served in local restaurants which have been picked in the nature?
One you can enjoy now is the Cyprus wild asparagus or ‘Agrelia’ as it known here.
These baby wild asparagus are a real delicacy, they grow in the wild and are hand picked. They can be cooked in various ways and the most traditional way these are prepared and served is with eggs ‘Agrelia me avga’ .
Here is how to prepare them if you are lucky enough to find them in the nature:
Fry the asparagus (use only the upper half of the asparagus which is the soft part) lightly in olive oil for about 10 minutes until soft. Break an egg directly into the pan and stir continuosly until it mixes well with the asparagus. Allow to cook on low heat for a further 5 minutes stiring occasionally. Add seasoning and serve while hot.
Bon appetit! Kali Orexi!

The village Tremithousa or Trimithousa is located about 4 kilometers northeast of Pafos at an altitude of 270 meters above sea level.
It is renowned for the tasty aromatic honey that is produced in the area. Other productions in the area include vines, vegetables, cereals, forage plants, citrus, almond, and walnut trees and more.
Tremithousa connects to the north to the monastery of Agios Neofytos, to the northeast with the village of Tala, and to the east with the main road of Pafos – Polis, within few minutes drive to Minthis Hills Golf.
The village already existed during the Medieval times and during the era of Frank domination.
Tremithousa took its name from the “Tremithia”. Tremithia (Terebinth) is a tree that was found in large quantities in the surrounding area. Thus the name Tremithousa or Trimithousa implies an area that is filled with Terebinth trees. Indeed, in the old times the village was known for its production of “Pafitiki Pissa” (gum of Pafos), which is made out of the resin of the Terebinth tree.
Today there is a thriving residential and tourism in the region of Tremithousa thanks to an excellent micro climate, its magnificent panoramic views to the sea, its traditional village atmosphere, all within short proximity to the sea, Pafos town and Minthis Hills Golf.
Pafilia’s exclusive Tremithousa Chorio development is located in the hillside village of Tremithousa and comprises 10 detached villas and sea view apartments.
The development is ideally located with easy access to the main Pafos to Polis Road. The immediate vicinity has recently attracted a growth of village shops catering for the day-to-day needs of the local residents. Tremithousa Chorio is also only minutes drive from the Pafos International School, Minthis Hills golf course and Pafos town.
The last 3 bedroom apartments are available at a bargain price starting from €210,000 only!

Pafilia Property Developers in Cyprus – Reviews oldest wine in production – 23 September 2010 – Cyprus Property Developer.
Cyprus has the oldest wine in the world that is still in production, Commandaria or Commanderia . It’s not one for purists and is really a fortified wine – excellent for cooking, but it has a long history going back supposedly around 4000 years, when Homer mentions a sweet wine produced in Cyprus.
It is made from the local Cyprus mavro and xinisteri grapes and its name derives from the Gran Commanderie, an area surrounding Kolossi Castle which can be found just west of Limassol. The Castle was the Commanderia or headquarters of the Knights Templars in the 12th Century. The wine was consumed locally, supposedly by the Knights and also exported to many European Royal Courts. Legend has it that, during his Marriage with Berengaria, in the 12th century Richard the Lionheart pronounced Commandaria to be the “wine of the kings and the king of the wines”.
The Cyprus Tourism Organisation has created a number of wine routes around Cyprus that enable you to make a day of it, sampling wines from numerous vineyards will touring villages throughout Cyprus, some around Pafos, Limassol and up into the Troodos. Cyprus wine is gaining reputation and today there are many boutique wineries producing some excellent red, white and rose wines.
