It being summer, we headed recently to Protaras, which being near full capacity meant we ended up staying away from the main strip, towards Paralimni. Despite not being in the thick of it, the beaches were still beautiful and there were plenty of bars and restaurants about, including one that had come highly recommended and was only a 10-minute walk away.
Struggling to find it we learnt that it had shut down. Not wanting to walk much further we simply settled for the restaurant that was next door! Ifalos had the look of a traditional taverna with its blue and white checkered table cloths and traditional chairs. In my previous experience, traditional restaurants in tourist areas are not the best option. However, I was about to be proved completely wrong!
