Kafkaros Tavern is a beloved family-run taverna in Protaras that has been welcoming diners for over two decades. This is authentic Cypriot dining at its warmest: checkered tablecloths, Greek music in the background, and a relaxed, homely atmosphere where the owner and staff make everyone feel like a regular. The kitchen turns out generous, freshly prepared classics, from meat and seafood meze to the fish of the day and traditional plates such as lamb kleftiko and shefalia, all served with bread, olives and salads.

Guests consistently praise the large portions, fair prices and genuinely friendly service, which help explain the restaurant's strong reputation with both locals and returning holidaymakers. With its own small car park and an easygoing, family-friendly vibe, it suits leisurely lunches and dinners alike, and even a few resident cats to keep you company. Open daily from early afternoon into the evening, Kafkaros is an ideal spot for anyone seeking a true taste of Cyprus in the Famagusta region.
