You could also get hotdogs and other munchies.

Let's have another look at the Shadow Theatre Show, from the other side of the square. It should be pointed out that all of the performance is in Greek. A common myth peddled to British people thinking about moving here is that English is spoken everywhere. While English is indeed fairly commonplace, it is only used to communicate with foreigners who don't speak Greek. Not everybody speaks English. And when the local population comes out to party and interact socially, they communicate in Greek. So if you are an immigrant, like me, standing there watching this weird and wonderful shadow show, you may well feel a bit inadequate, because you are unable to understand what is being said.

Every Christmas, I resolve to learn more Greek in the New Year, and this year is no exception. But, having stood somewhat perplexed and watched this show, I do feel a little bit more determined this time.

And for the avoidance of any doubt, I am not for one moment suggesting that these shows should be multilingual. On the contrary, I think that us immigrants, myself included, should get better at speaking the local language. The Cypriots really do appreciate it. Yesterday I had to rush out and buy a two ring cooker owing to a household emergency. It was one of those shops where they ask for your phone number, and I rattled mine off in English. The cashier misheard me, so I repeated the numbers in Greek. I saw the manager of the shop and he looked so pleased that I had made an effort to speak in their language.

From what I can work out, Karagiozis is a character in the same vein as Punch and Judy. There are several stories associated with him. Google has more information:

About the Performance

Context: This is a festive-themed play within the popular Greek folk theatre tradition of Karagiozis (Karaghiozis).

Characters: The stories typically feature the poor, hunchbacked trickster Karagiozis, his family, and other stock characters like his friend Hadjiavatis and Uncle George (Barba Yiorgos).

Plot: The narrative likely involves Karagiozis, who often uses mischievous ways to get by due to his poverty, dealing with a "Christmas thief" or perhaps being mistakenly identified as one in a humorous holiday scenario.

Cultural Significance: Shadow theatre performances, especially around the holidays, are common cultural events in Greece and Cyprus, providing entertainment for children and families.

As well as hotdogs, pizzas and crepes, you could get more traditional Cypriot food like Souvlaki.

And these delicious bad-boys are as traditional as you can get in Cyprus.
