Top choice in Pafos


Located in a relatively quiet part of Kato Pafos, this place oozes rustic charm with its natural stone, original wooden shutters and walls washed in warm ochre. The specialities, such as moussaka, are reliably authentic, as is the twice-weekly (Tuesday and Saturday) kleftiko (slow-roasted lamb); on these days it’s advisable to book as word is out and the place gets busy.
