Antithesis

Top choice in Lemesos (Limassol)


This snug cafe whips up a mighty fine slice of cake as well as some great coffee, pots of tea and delicious smoothies. If you’re peckish there's a small menu of pies, pitta pockets and soups for a tasty lunch. The owner also runs the chic homeware-cum-furniture shop next door.
