9 piani per Cipro, da 3 a 50 GB. La validità va da 1 giorno a 180 giorni. 9 di questi vanno in 5G, dove la rete locale ce l'ha.
6 piani possono essere ricaricati senza installare una seconda eSIM. I piani si appoggiano a Vodafone, Epic.
Numeri contati sul catalogo vero, non messi lì dal marketing: sono gli stessi piani che vedi elencati qui sopra.
In Cipro non arriva nessun pacchetto regionale: qui l'unica opzione è il piano del singolo paese, che comunque di solito costa meno.
Un'eSIM di viaggio per Cipro è una SIM digitale che il telefono si scarica: niente tessera di plastica, niente banco da cercare in aeroporto. Compri online, tocchi il link che ti arriva per email (nella stessa email c'è anche il QR) e sul telefono compare una seconda linea, accanto alla tua SIM di sempre. Resta ferma finché non arrivi in Cipro, poi si aggancia da sola a Vodafone, Epic su 5G dove c'è e LTE in tutto il resto. Il tuo numero continua a funzionare per chiamate e SMS: l'eSIM porta solo i giga.
Mappe, messaggi e app per i taxi consumano poco: circa 300–500 MB al giorno. Se ci aggiungi foto, social e qualche video sei vicino a 1 GB al giorno. Per una settimana un piano da 5 GB sta comodo; per due settimane, o se condividi l'hotspot e guardi video, meglio 10 GB o più, oppure un piano ricaricabile che puoi rimpolpare in viaggio. I piani per Cipro partono da 4,80 € in 7 tagli, e su ognuno trovi il prezzo al GB: il confronto lo fai in due secondi.
No. Un'eSIM di viaggio per Cipro è un piano dati locale, non roaming internazionale: paghi in anticipo il prezzo che vedi, senza nessun conteggio al megabyte da parte del tuo operatore. Imposta l'eSIM come linea dati e spegni il roaming dati sulla SIM di casa: al ritorno non trovi sorprese in bolletta. E fino a quando non la installi ti rimborsiamo tutto, quindi comprarla in anticipo non è un rischio.
Meze
Not a dish but a format — fifteen to thirty small plates arriving in sequence over a couple of hours. Ordering meze commits the table to the whole progression.
Tavernas everywhere; ask whether it is meat, fish or mixed.
Halloumi
The protected-origin brine cheese, grilled or fried so it squeaks. Cypriot halloumi is firmer and saltier than versions made elsewhere.
Everywhere, and village dairies sell it fresh.
Souvla
Large chunks of pork or lamb on a long skewer turned slowly over charcoal for hours. Distinct from souvlaki, which is smaller and faster.
Village tavernas, and at any Sunday family gathering.
Kleftiko
Lamb sealed in a clay oven and cooked for hours until it falls apart. Traditionally cooked in a sealed pit.
Tavernas in the Troodos villages.
Sheftalia
Minced pork and onion wrapped in caul fat and grilled, so it bastes itself. A Cypriot speciality not found in Greece.
Grill houses and meze spreads.
Loukoumades
Small fried dough balls soaked in syrup and dusted with cinnamon.
Street stalls and festivals.
Commandaria
A sweet fortified wine made from sun-dried grapes, produced in the same region for millennia and claimed as one of the oldest named wines still in production.
Village wineries in the Commandaria region north of Limassol.
Koupepia
Vine leaves stuffed with rice and minced meat, cooked with lemon.
Any taverna; a standard meze plate.
Zivania
A clear grape spirit distilled from pomace and local wine, strong and traditionally offered to guests.
Village tavernas; commercial and homemade versions both exist.
Cypriot coffee
Finely ground coffee boiled in a briki and served unfiltered with the grounds settling. Ordered by sweetness — sketos, metrios or glykys.
