Right in the bustling heart of Kato Paphos, the Mandra Tavern is opposite the Dionysos Hotel in Dionysiou Street.

This one’s an old favourite of ours. The ‘Mandra’ bit comes about from the building’s former use as an agricultural outbuilding.

Despite the history, the Mandra today is a good restaurant, even if it is unashamedly targeting [...]
