The place

Militzis

A family-run seafront taverna on the Finikoudes promenade serving Cypriot classics like kleftiko and slow-roasted lamb since the 1980s.

Militzis sits at the start of the Finikoudes promenade, near the medieval castle, and has been a Larnaca institution since it was reinstated in 1984 by the same family. The kitchen focuses on a short list of traditional Cypriot dishes done well: kleftiko, slow-cooked lamb, souvla, tavas, and grilled meats, served in generous portions in a simple, rustic dining room with wooden tables and local artwork.

Reviewers consistently flag it as good value for a seafront location, with meze, wine, and drinks coming in reasonably priced for two people. Service gets mixed reviews at peak times, but the food and the sunset view over the Mediterranean from the terrace keep it busy. Reservations are recommended in season.
