For Each Arm and Leg

Kahvehane is still the heart of many villages. Here you may have your Turkish coffee exactly as you want it: either as sade (without sugar), or orta (medium) or shekerli (with sugar). Here you may listen to the news circulating in the neighbourhood and play tavla (backgammon), chess and cards. From here the men still watches the world, sitting with enviable calmness in the typical Cypriot way with a chair for each arm and leg. Sitting at a kahvehane gives me the feeling of the peaceful Cyprus I always want to return to.
