foraging food

October marks the beginning of the mid-autumn season, and in Cyprus, it comes with thunderstorms and a sprinkling of rain.

The cooler temperatures that follow provide a perfect environment for seeds to sprout, and the foraging season commences once again. Cyprus offers a range of wild edible plants and herbs, including wild mushrooms, asparagus, thyme, sage, and more.

The cooler weather also means it’s a great time for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, or picnicking in the countryside. October is a great month to enjoy nature and indulge in seasonal treats in Cyprus.
