This restaurant is on the water and offers outdoor dinning. It's a great place to try Cypriot food because the prices are fair and the locals eat here too. (Hint: if you see locals eating at a restaurant it's a good sign, only tourists eating means it's probably overpriced or the food is not up to par. Greek Cypriots are very particular about their food.) Try 'mezedes,' or appetizers. The concept is similair to that of a Tapas Bar. If you order mezedes you will get to taste a-lot of different types of dishes. They will probably start off with cold dishes like salads and dips and continue with meats and seafood. My favorite dish in Cyprus is 'sheftalies,' it is ground meat wrapped in fat and cooked on the barbacue, it's the souvlaki of Cyprus
