I went for a hike with my brother near his house on some steps and a hiking trail up a small hill.
Profitis Elias - a tourist attraction church at the top of the hill
At the top of the hill is a cute little church which had an amazing view! You could see the whole city and even all the way to Famagusta ghost town.
The stairs to climb up the hill were a bit of a mission and I was out of breath, but once we got to the top it was definitely worth it.
Views all the way up to the top
Lovely view

We made our way back down and walked back home and got ready for an early dinner. It's getting extremely dark very quickly in Cyprus lately and by 5pm it is pitch black.
We went to a restaurant called Just Italian with my mom, Eden and my brother's wife Lesley. We were served a complimentary bread basket which came with olive oil, chilli paste and olive paste... I am a big fan of the olive paste which is absolutely delicious with bread if you like olives!
Wonderful dips, olive oil and garlic, olive paste and chili paste
For the mains I ordered a grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and grilled roast vegetables.

Eden ordered a peppercorn sauce steak with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables... which was out of this world!

My mom ordered prawns with baby potatoes.
Delicious prawns
Lesley ordered a prawn risotto. My brother ordered a creamy steak pasta which was very unusual for him as he never orders pasta.

It was a lovely evening and the food was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it and then we headed back home and chilled before having an early night.
