Ten minutes outside Larnaka, in the village of Oroklini to the north, this traditional house
and courtyard offers a taste of traditional foods, surrounds and hospitality. The aroma of
herbs, the succulent variety of meat and the wild vegetable meze dishes leave you scram-
bling for space on the table and wondering if your stomach can take any more.

SEAFOOD
Near the harbour, this contemporary tavern's service is only bettered by its high-quality
fish meze. Calamari and silver sardines are an excellent choice. Dine here once and it's a
safe bet you'll return.
Psarolimano Tavern
SEAFOOD
This seafood tavern is known for its fish meze and it's well worth splashing out for it. The
view, over the traditional fishing boat harbour, complements the food perfectly and ser-
vice is friendly and efficient.

Drinking & Nightlife
Larnaka's drinking scene centres on the Finikoudes, offering bars and cafes of every style.
More intimate pubs and
kafeneia
(cafes) can be found in the side streets leading away
from the coast and tend to have more reasonable prices.
While most serious party-goers head to Agia Napa for its club and bar scene, there are
some easy-going spots to enjoy in Larnaka. Once more, the seafront and surrounding
streets provide some good clubs, but in Larnaka the hottest spot is the up-and-coming area
of Makenzy Beach.
In summer regular beach parties are held with guest DJs from around the globe and you
can drink and dance all day at the beach bars on the sand. Watch out for the leaflets posted
around town advertising musical acts.
