Cypriot Happy Hour

“Cyprus, this beautiful, humble island—my birthplace—is not Greece,” explains Irene Matys. But the two countries do share some things in common, like ouzo and a Happy Hour that lasts all evening, perfect for grazing, making conversation and friendships, taking your time before a late dinner,” shares Irene Matys.
