‘Souvlaki’ or Souvla is a true blessing for anyone who is a fan of barbecued meat. Usually grilled outdoors for special occasions (bank and Greek Orthodox holidays), small (Souvlaki), and/or big (Souvla) chunks of meat are marinated the night before the ‘big’ day. Meat is grilled on an open flame while family members and close friends gather. While waiting for the souvlaki, people usually drink Ouzo (local liquor) or Zivania (traditional Cypriot spirit), and dance Sirtaki or Zembekiko.
