7. Description of Attraction |
|
A very popular, open air
restaurant, on a hill top over looking
the Akamas Peninsula. The view from the
restaurant is reputed to be one of the
best in Cyprus and you can't fail to see
why. Surrounded by fruit plantations and
with a breathtaking view of the unspoilt
beach's and deep blue sea.
The restaurant serves a
perfectly cooked and delicious souvla
daily, consisting of pork and chicken
served with a jacket potato or wedges,
village salad and bread. It is a
licensed restaurant and all other
beverages are also available.
The restaurant is well
shaded by flowering shrubs and vines
providing a unique setting. There is
plenty of seating with different
arrangements and all of the table tops
are large slabs of solid stone, just
think Flintstones and you have the
picture. There is no menu and visitors
don't expect one, which all adds to the
charm and ambiance of the restaurant.
