At the heart of the Mediterranean, Northern Cyprus is putting its rich historical legacy and generations-old culinary culture under the lens of global luxury tourism. Special gastronomy gatherings hosted by Merit Hotels are an important step toward giving the island’s distinctive flavours the international standing they deserve.
The first stop of the event series, Zephyros Fish Restaurant at Merit Crystal Cove Hotel, hosted a refined table blending the island’s seafood and regional recipes. Led by Executive Chef Vural Bayar, an 11-course tasting menu reinterpreted traditional Cypriot meze and signature starters through a modern gastronomic lens.
Local Flavours Meet International Aesthetics
Convened in the belief that gastronomy is not merely a dining experience but one of the most powerful ways to express a destination’s cultural identity and luxury lifestyle vision, the event brought together Türkiye’s leading gastronomy writers and culinary professionals. Presented with meticulous aesthetics while preserving the essence of traditional flavours, the dishes earned top marks from guests and once again showcased the richness of Mediterranean cuisine.
Gatherings of this calibre, led by Merit Hotels, continue to strengthen Northern Cyprus’ tourism and gastronomy potential on the global luxury travel map.
