La Place Royale

Pafos


This is one of Pafos' classiest cafe-bars, right on the busy pedestrian strip at the eastern end of Poseidonos. The little oasis of glass, cane, wrought iron and miniwaterfalls in a shaded paved patio is perfect for a preclubbing cocktail. Food is served but it’s fairly forgettable.
