The best restaurants Ayia Napa

A typical fish tavern, just like hundreds on the Greek islands. Here, it's almost unexpected presence in the middle of the city's bars, clubs and restaurants.

The place is magical, romantic, especially at sunset time. Family cooking (for once, we recommend moussaka) and fresh fish to eat on the beach, almost feet in the water. Not far away, you will find the other tavern in the village, simply named Potamos.

Housed in an old listed house, this friendly tavern is popular with locals. Excellent cuisine based on fresh produce and traditional recipes: ftana (grilled pork), afelia (pork in red wine sauce), grilled mushrooms, mezze, etc. Try the rustic halloumi, made the day before, it's a unique occasion. Warm atmosphere.

This restaurant (Μουσικός) is renowned throughout the region, and you need to book well in advance to find a table here in summer. All the classics of Cypriot cuisine are served on the beautiful terrace, under the vaults or in the pleasant dining room: kleftiko, sheftalia, souvla lamb, goat or pork , homemade halloumi, snails..., not forgetting the great village specialty, kolokasi (taro root), locally known as poulles/πούλλες. And it's not too expensive, since you can try it all by opting for the copious €22 mezze menu.
