As such, Larnaka is abundant in historic and archaeological places, museums and ancient places of faith. But behind the well-known attractions, Larnaka’s narrow streets are filled with hidden gems. This booklet, which is issued for the twentieth consecutive year, aims to assist you in discov- ering Larnaka “behind the scenes”. Recommendations on new points of interest, events which will entertain you and get you acquainted with the Cypriot culture and of course, valuable tips from the locals. Every piece of Larnaka offers something special and we want to show it to our esteemed visitors. What I personally love about Larnaka is the fact that it has the atmosphere of a small city and the convenience of a metropolitan area. Larnaka has qualities that distinguish the region from other holiday resorts. You can rarely find a place which combines historic attractions, the commercial centre, cosmopolitan promenades and blue-flag awarded beaches together with numerous activities, all within a short distance. So, Larna- ka’s compact size is what makes the destination special, to- gether with other characteristics which can be revealed by reading this edition. The Larnaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry wishes you a memorable holiday! Make sure that when you de- part, your suitcase is filled with memories, nice feelings, new tastes, the stories of the locals and most of all, spiritual rejuvenation.

17 LARNAKA This Month CYPRIOT RECIPE OF THE MONTH TRADITIONAL CYPRUS CHRISTMAS ALMOND COOKIES - KOURABIEDES Ingredients 3 cups butter 1 & 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 egg yolks 2 & 1/2 tbs brandy 1 tsp liquid vanilla extract 2 & 3/4 cups coarsely chopped roasted almonds roughly 6 cups all purpose flour (or less or more flour as is needed per the instructions below)

Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 176C. 2. With a mixer (or hand mixer) beat the butter and icing sugar together for about 10 minutes, until the butter turns a light yellow colour. 3. Continue to mix and add the egg yolks. When the egg yolks have been incorporated, add the brandy. Continue to mix well in- corporated, about another 5 minutes. 4. In a large bowl, add your vanilla and nuts. Then add the butter mixture. Begin to mix with your hand, adding the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Continue to mix with your hands. The mixture will be very sticky at the beginning, but should become less sticky as you add more flour. Continue to add flour until the mixture holds together and does not stick to your hands. 5. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Do not work the dough too much, as this is not good for the cookies. With a cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the dough. 6. Place the cookies on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for about 20 to 22 minutes. The cookies should be a very light golden brown colour. 7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool. 8. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top to cover the cookies and enjoy!
