Bella Moon

Top choice in Cyprus


Head through the arch to the leafy courtyard to dine on meals of simple grilled-meat dishes which all come loaded down with plenty of homemade meze. This family-run restaurant has a charmingly old-fashioned atmosphere and warm and welcoming service. Pick-up and drop-off transfers from Kyrenia hotels can be arranged if you prebook.
