Restaurant review: O Tremythas, Simou, Paphos
August 18, 2023
With the high temperatures of summer upon us and the ever increasing humidity, we all look for an escape to cooler climes. The golden rule is to go higher, and with the repeated recommendation from friends of a taverna in the hills, we headed for the delightful village of Simou. Having repeatedly driven the road from Paphos to Latchi, I have never detoured into Simou. It is the perfect spot to break your journey for lunch or a coffee en route.
O Tremythas taverna is positioned on the small pretty village square, one of two restaurants. There is a museum, church and a protected Pistacia Atlantica tree which is said to be the oldest tree in Cyprus. This colossal tree offers complete shade on a sunny day.
