Why Pithari Tavern makes the list

Pithari Tavern is one of the reasons Paphos makes our list at all — a village taverna on Aphrodite Avenue in Kouklia, the village by the Sanctuary of Aphrodite, a short drive east of Paphos. Around €20–25 a head.

With 4.5 stars from 52 Google reviews (checked September 2026), it is one of the better-rated places in Paphos on Google.

What to order & what to expect

This is traditional Cypriot eating: charcoal, clay ovens, village wine and plates meant for sharing. Come hungry — meze here is a marathon, not a sprint.

Where it is & when to go

Pithari Tavern is in Kouklia village, Aphrodite Avenue, Paphos. Paphos splits in two: Ktima, the upper market town, and Kato Paphos below — the harbour, castle and UNESCO archaeological park, with the hotel strip and old-town lanes in between. Cypriots eat late; go from about 8pm for the full atmosphere, and book ahead on summer weekends — good tavernas fill with local families, which is exactly the sign you want.
