Traditional Cypriot and Greek Cuisine in Cyprus

The traditional flavours of our place in our taverns!

Taverns are a favourite food destination throughout the year. In the summer near the coast overlooking the Mediterranean Sea with a wonderful marine scent. They are also very beautiful in winter, with the fireplaces and wood stoves lit, and their interiors acquire a special character. Warm and welcoming, the taverns transform into beautiful, wintery spots for all tastes.
