Right on Kalamies Beach in the Pernera area of Protaras, this family-run restaurant has welcomed seafood lovers since 1976. Tables sit beside the Mediterranean, with a breezy terrace and sweeping sea views by day and a starlit horizon dotted with fishing-boat lights by night. The kitchen focuses on the freshest catch: grilled kalamari, red mullet, tiger prawns, sea bass in garlic and lemon, whole lobster, octopus and ceviche, alongside sushi and sashimi options and a strong wine list featuring Cypriot labels like Petritis.

Traditional Greek-Cypriot starters and mezes — tzatziki, tirokafteri, fava, grilled halloumi and prawn saganaki — round out an extensive menu, with grilled meats and hot sandwiches for non-fish diners. Guests praise the fresh, well-seasoned cooking, friendly and attentive service and the stunning beachfront setting, making it a favourite for both a relaxed beachside lunch and a romantic dinner by the water. Pricing sits on the higher end. Open daily for lunch and dinner; reservations are recommended in the busy summer months.
