INTERNATIONAL: BORDERLESS CUISINE 21 - Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Crete - VIDEOS
Greek and Turkey have interacted with their foods, culture, etc. Cyprus was a Greek Island until the 1970's when the Turks invaded Cyprus and took over and still reign. Today there are Greek and Turkish influences. Elements of both cuisines are a mixture of Western and Eastern food.
When I was in Cyprus in the 1970's I stayed on the Greek side and met many wonderful Greek people. We were not permitted to cross over (after 1974) into the Turkish part. I was told if I took any photos the guard would confiscate my camera!! I spent three weeks there and have fond memories of the Greek Cypriots and their cuisine.
Crete is a Greek island. I met some Cretan natives (kypriakoús) in Germany in the 1960's. Nice people. That's when I learned how to make carrot cake.

‘Stuffed Grape Leaves’ are one of the most popular Greek (dolmades), Turkish (dolmas), Cypriot (Koupepia) and Cretan (dolmadakia) dishes.
