If you like your meze, don’t miss Tervetuloa. It’s a casual place with little pretension that serves up a parade of some of the tastiest meze dishes in Northern Cyprus, outshining the main dishes such as Cypriot classics and seafood. Just off the main coast road, it’s about 10km west of Kyrenia. The full menu is only available after 6pm.
