Personality

Traditional Good for Groups Budget Friendly Good Value

Set in Peyia, The Old Cinema is a casual taverna serving Cypriot and Greek classics at wallet-friendly prices. Reviews highlight generous portions and an authentic, freshly cooked meze selection, with the Greek salad noted as especially large and shareable. The setting feels local and relaxed in the village center, and it can get busy in the evenings thanks to the value on offer, so arriving a bit early can help.

Expect straightforward grills and meze plates suited to sharing, plus simple house wines—one review praised a chilled house rosé. Opening hours are evenings only, 17:00–23:00 daily, making it a convenient dinner spot after exploring the Paphos district. With big plates, fair prices and unfussy cooking, The Old Cinema suits both couples and groups looking for a down-to-earth local meal in Peyia.
