These 5 shops in Nicosia make the most delectable sandwiches
The capital is bustling with life, and if you are looking to enjoy a lunch in the city and get a good sandwich then look no further than these five places.
A Cypriot favourite is the sandwich with halloumi and Cypriot smoked ham, but these five places will make you want more than just a classic.
Yapanas
Yapanas has been making sandwiches for you since 1955. A few months ago, the shop moved to its new location (after moving from the old GSP area where it was located for years) to a small shop on the very central street of Stasandrou. Fast, quality and delicious are its main features, but it is also great for people on a budget.
Try: A special, from a selection of three main ingredients: sausage, bacon, roast pork, halloumi, cheese, ham, tomato and cucumber, on village bread! And only € 3.50.
