Culinary Delights
Cuisine & Indulgence
Paphos & Region – our personal recommendations
We are true lovers of good food and enjoy discovering both traditional Cypriot cuisine and modern, creative culinary concepts. In Cyprus, we passionately try new places – from small village tavernas to stylish restaurants. This list is not exhaustive, as Cyprus offers an exceptionally diverse culinary scene. However, it is based on our own experiences and on places that have particularly impressed us over time.
