When in Paphos, it's a good rule of thumb to "eat where the locals eat." Just a short distance from the main tourist areas, travelers can discover cozy family-friendly dining spots.
In Paphos, you must try the following dishes: kleftiko (pieces of lamb baked with spices), fish and meat meze (an assortment of 20-30 dishes served with Greek salad, fries, various sauces, and priced from 20 to 30 EUR), beef stifado, tender moussaka (a casserole with zucchini, eggplant, and minced meat with béchamel sauce), and a variety of seafood.
Aside from the delectable seafood and meat options, Paphos restaurants also offer famous Cypriot wines such as Thisbe and Othello, the cold coffee drink frappe (starting from 2 EUR per cup), and the traditional Zivania, a strong alcoholic beverage that captures the flavors of freshly squeezed grapes, honey, and aromatic herbs.
