I thought this was Jason and the Argonauts, but aren't we on letter "I"?  Maybe there was somebody else who looked for it too.

Jason and the Argonauts is Correct!

Nope you are right! I missed the question beginning with "I"

Yes, I got Jason.  But I've got no idea about cuisine in Lanarca so I'll let somebody else get this one.  :)  No worries.

Kleftiko: Dish of Thieves (cf "Kleptomaniac").  In the hills above Lanarca, theives herded their stolen sheep into the caves and set the caves on fire and sealed the entrance. 

So much for "K".  Moving right along...

Cypriot city where a traditional dish is Kleftiko?
