foraging food

May in Cyprus is a great time to explore the countryside and discover wild edibles. Arguably the best month of the year in Cyprus, warm, not hot, cool, not cold. The island is full of colors and fragrant wild spring flowers. It’s a unique experience to walk through the vibrant landscapes and forage for food.
