Pourekia & Kattimeri: A Taste of Cypriot Tradition




Pourekia & Kattimeri: A Taste of Cypriot Tradition
About the experience
Pourekia & Kattimeri: A Taste of Cypriot Tradition is a hands-on culinary experience inspired by the warmth of the Cypriot home, the simplicity of village life, and the recipes passed down from one generation to the next. In Cyprus, traditional pastries have always been more than just food. They are connected to family gatherings, festive days, village kitchens, and the generous spirit of hospitality. Pourekia and kattimeri are two beloved examples of this tradition — simple, comforting, and full of memories. During this experience, you will discover the stories behind these traditional treats, learn how they are prepared, and take part in the process step by step. From working with the dough to shaping, filling, cooking, and tasting, this workshop invites you to experience Cyprus through its flavours, aromas, and handmade traditions. At the end, you will enjoy your freshly prepared pourekia and kattimeri, sharing a moment that feels both nostalgic and deeply connected to the island’s cultural heritage. A sweet journey into Cypriot tradition — made by hand, shared with heart.
