Souvlaki is one of those dishes that tastes best where the locals eat it, and the Famagusta district delivers plenty of options. From the lively taverns of Ayia Napa to no-frills grills in the villages, there's a spot for every appetite and budget.
In Ayia Napa you'll find Opa's Tavern, a lively spot pairing souvlaki and grilled halloumi with nightly live music, and Sesoula Kalamaki, a casual harbour place serving grills on its signature 'sesoules' at friendly prices. For a full meze experience, Raphael's Restaurant in the heart of town brings generous plates and warm service.
Head inland to the villages for a more local feel: Fanis Snack in Liopetri and Το σουβλιτζίδικο των κουμπάρων in Deryneia both keep things simple and satisfying. Browse the five listings below to plan your next souvlaki run.
