Vangelis Tavern is in Protara Avenue, Protaras. Protaras is the calmer half of the Famagusta riviera — one long, gently curving strip behind Fig Tree Bay, with Pernera at its quieter northern end and the Konnos–Cape Greco headland closing it off to the south. 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.
