Paphos and its surrounding villages do souvlaki properly — charcoal grills, generous plates and a mix of settings from beachfronts to open-air terraces. We've gathered four spots across the region, each with its own character.

In Paphos town, Riganato is a well-liked grill house turning out charcoal souvlaki, gyros, kebabs and sheftalies with generous portions and delivery or takeaway. Up in Peyia, Viklari serves charcoal souvla (pork and chicken) with giant chips, salad and bread above Avakas Gorge, with views across the Akamas. Over in Latchi, Yialos Beach Grill House pairs Cypriot souvlaki and grills with sea views and garden shade, while Flavours For All Kebab & Baklava in Polis Chrysochous rounds out the list with a strong 4.8 rating.

Whether you want a quick takeaway or a long lunch with a view, there's something here worth the drive.
