You've caught me out - I do like a drop of cheeky light red wine on a winter's evening but if there is no organic freshly chilled dry white wine, what's a girl to do . . .

Off for the weekend now (dry white wine in the fridge at home) - will pop in to see how the wine situation is on Monday!

Ways of drinking RAKİ
raki is consumed with meze (a selection of appetisers or small dishes taken with alcohol); it is especially popular with white cheese and melon or fish. Raki is generally drunk mixed with cold water. Ice cubes may be added, preferably to diluted raki, since its anise may otherwise crystallize. When the water is added, the mixture turns a whitish colour, similar to the louche of absinthe. In addition to mixing raki with water in its own glass, it is customary to drink raki with a separate but complementary beverage. For the casual raki drinker, a glass of cold water is suitable. For the serious connoisseur of raki with kebab, a glass of şalgam stands as the best accompaniment to Lion's Milk. Sometimes raki is drunk with ayran (in a separate glass), which is said to prevent hangover.

Şalgam=Turnip juice .
Lion's Milk= How the local people called the RAKİ

OK.  Just want to know the name of any traditional little villages that would be nice to visit.

Templos is a village in the Kyrenia district in Cyprus, thought to be named by the Knights Templar.

Kormacit (Kormatiki) Maronite village in North.

I was born near Basingstoke.

And am very proud to have been born in Odiham ~ a delightful Georgian Town with a history that goes back into the mists of time. Unfortunately it is now the dwelling pace of a lot of hobbledehoys from Sarf London who have, IMHO, ruined it.

A great little town, nice countryside and outlying villages. You mentioned the RAF in another post, were you based there?

No, applied for a posting there once but in true RAF fashion was sent somewhere else.
Actually my coming from Odiham was because My Grandmother and her family (for a couple of hundred years back) came from there. When she married the old gal moved to Southampton, where my Mother was born. They got bombed out during WWII and moved back to Odiham. My father was a Southampton lad, had met mother before she moved and kept in touch with her during his Army service. They married in Odiham and I was born there (contrary to popular myth 11 months AFTER the wedding) We moved back to Southampton when I was four.

İnteresting place to visit:Büyük Han.

www.buyukhan-art.com

Drywhite Wine.

here is the information for u about BÜYÜK HAN and rest of the places in northern Nicosia can be read from below link.
http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~durduran/drnic1.html
THE BÜYÜK KHAN
This is a sixteenth century inn, the name meaning, BIG INN. It is situated in Asmalti street and is classified by the Department of Antiquities as an ancient building. Fig. 10 is a view of the khan from the rear, and so much of its appearance is like a gr im fortress, that in the old colonial days, the British used this khan as Nicosia Central Prison. Windows were always high up, and small because of marauders (rich merchants at the inn were inevitably a source of great temptation) and in the Middle Ages, glass was very expensive. In the interior courtyard is a picturesque octagonal tower used for prayers and is therefore a miniature mosque or mesdjit, with a picturesque fountain below. Around the court and downstairs are the stables, while the merchants had their bedrooms upstairs. Notice in fig. I0, the curious octagonal chimneys; perhaps guests were allowed to have small charcoal braziers in their rooms. In all, about 67 people were accommodated, but without hot water, t.v. or electric blankets. The main entrance to the Büyük Khan is in Asmalti Street, but you would hardly notice it, as it is so cluttered u p with shops and stalls. This inn was built about 1570 A.D. by Muzaffer Pasha, so ít is not a mediaeval building. Ifyou really want to see mediaeval inns, you must go to Tripoli in Lebanon, while in the old Persian towns of Isfahan and Shiraz you can actu ally see the old customs lingering on. "Caravans" come into the khan yard at night, cook their meals in the open, wash, pray and "bed" down the donkeys for the night. That's the place for a t.v. documentary film. For some time the Büyük Khan was used as a builders' yard, but now all this paraphernalia has been removed and the khan awaits restoration.

Good news HAN has restored now.İ was there , yesterday.
