Yialos Tavern By the Sea is a laid-back seaside tavern perched on the coast at Peyia, near Paphos, where diners come as much for the sweeping sea views as for the honest, home-style Cypriot cooking. Guests praise the short but tasty menu, generous portions and some of the best fries on the island, all served at prices that keep the bill refreshingly light. Reasonably priced local wine and cold beer round out a relaxed meal, whether you settle in for lunch or linger toward a golden sunset over the water.

The welcome is warm and the service consistently earns high marks, giving the spot a genuine hidden-gem feel that keeps visitors coming back day after day. Slightly off the beaten path and not always well signposted, it rewards those who seek it out with an authentic, unpretentious taste of Cyprus by the sea. Bring a light layer, as the breeze can pick up on the terrace.

With a strong 4.5 rating across hundreds of reviews, it is a favourite for tourists and locals alike looking for good food and an unbeatable coastal setting.
