Tucked away in the mountain village of Vavatsinia near Lefkara, Marias Restaurant is a much-loved family taverna where traditional Cypriot cooking and warm hospitality take centre stage. Visitors travel from far and near for the generous meze spread, often welcomed with complimentary dishes and rounded off with Cypriot coffee, dessert and tea. The menu celebrates classic village fare: slow-cooked kleftiko lamb, tava, pork balls, tender grilled chicken and homemade sweets, all served in portions guests describe as large enough to feed an army.
With friendly, attentive staff, honest prices and a relaxed garden setting surrounded by fresh mountain air, it is a firm favourite for families, groups and travellers exploring the Larnaca countryside. Highly rated by hundreds of diners, Marias offers an authentic taste of Cyprus that rewards the scenic drive into the hills.
