Afxentis Fish Restaurant

Afxentis Fish Restaurant is a local favourite tucked into the streets near Limassol's Medieval Castle and Old Port, just a couple of minutes' walk from the historic centre. Regulars and visiting tourists alike praise the fresh fish and seafood, expertly grilled and paired with plentiful sides like Greek salad, potatoes and traditional dips. Guests describe generous complimentary starters — olives, bread and tzatziki — as well as memorable dishes such as swordfish, seabass, squid, octopus, crab cakes and tuna carpaccio.

The welcoming, professional staff are frequently singled out for their friendliness and helpful guidance in choosing dishes, and there is a thoughtfully chosen wine list. Often full of locals, it delivers an authentic taste of Cypriot seafood dining at reasonable prices. With outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere, it suits couples, families and groups alike.

Open daily from midday until late, Afxentis is an easy choice for lunch or dinner while exploring old Limassol, and a place many say they return to time and again.
