When local traditions are passed on from generation to generation and are kept intact over the years, the young remain in touch with their roots and draw inspiration for original ideas that highlight the island’s past.
In Omodos village, the tradition of arkatena bread has passed onto a new era.
One of the oldest workshops specializing in the art of arkateno, presents the new creations that were born from grandma Fotini's breads. Her children and grandchildren, having learned her art, also learned to love this flavor and suggest visitors try the classic bread, as well as imaginative variations and modern combinations at their little shop.
The arkateno is now accompanied by jam, chocolate praline and dried nuts, creating a unique combination for breakfast and brunch along with aromatic coffee.
Besides arkatena, the shop also offers homemade sweets, such as ladyfingers, apple pie and a variety of cakes, as well as homemade halloumi pie.
All of these, along with the village halloumi, handmade jam and fruits, make up the platters that are prepared for the village breakfast at Omodos.
