To Stekki Tou Panai

Top choice in Cyprus


Despite its modern-looking exterior, this small taverna dates back over 200 years and is the family home of owner-cum-cook Maria; a lavishly embroidered dress belonging to her grandmother adorns one wall. Maria describes her cuisine as Cypriot with a touch of innovation, adding extra spices and herbs to such traditional dishes as moussaka. A small salad and dessert are provided free of charge.

Find the restaurant just beyond the church in the centre of the village.
