Finikkas

Cyprus


Located just off the crossroad in the centre of town, this is the village’s most popular taverna, with a traditional dining room and a typical menu of meaty mains such as grilled souvlaki and lamb kebabs, as well as a girth-expanding 15-dish meze. It also serves karaolia (snails) prepared in a rich tomato sauce, a dish typical of the Akamas region.
