The open market in Kyrenia is held on Wednesday and it is always very busy come rain or shine. Time was when the only shelters were sheets of polythene that did a poor job of keeping out the rain of winter or the blistering heat of summer. Now all the major stalls have permanent stretched canvas covers and browsing among them is a pleasure.
The array of produce is mind boggling whatever the season, and the freshest and most succulent vegetables are the ones produced here in the TRNC. Carrots, cauliflower and broccoli all grown locally are among the best I have ever tasted. The carrots are sweet, firm and crunchy, almost better eaten raw than cooked. The white curds of the cauliflower are truly creamy and tightly packed, and the green of the broccoli is a deep, dark emerald. As a matter of historical note it is a part of Cyprus history that the first cauliflowers exported into mainland Europe were grown here in the valley that runs down through Degermenlik (Kythrea).
