Do you want to see a really cool place for lunch?\u00a0Then you have to go to\u00a0Viklari, The Last Castle<\/span> in the disctrict of Paphos<\/span>, Cyprus<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well known by all locals for great food and even better views, this secret hot spot is a short drive away in Akamas Peninsula<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get put off by the rough road that takes you there, it will be well worth the drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but wait until you walk in!<\/p>\n\n\n

You’re greeted by an outstanding view on the side, and through a beautiful stone-lined walkway, you enter the restaurant area covered with vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(if you want to book your table and get location details, scroll to the bottom of the article)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in here is as rustic as it gets and I couldn’t love it more! The vines provide a lovely shade and reflect like a disco ball a beautiful mosaic on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is beautifully green in spring and summer, definitely, the best time to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were there, the grapes were just getting ripe and the vine provided nice shelter from the midday heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We called a day earlier and booked a big table with a view – a must if you want to make it there for lunch in summer, this place gets really busy even on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started with some house wine, served – how else – than in a rustic jug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is no place for picky eaters – the restaurant only serves one menu and lunch only, you choose either chicken or pork (or mixed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes with gigantic chips, freshly prepared salad, some bread and of course wine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food is good quality, I would say even better than you get in most restaurants in Paphos (especially in the harbour area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The salad is rather simple but very fresh. Good fresh ingredients, you can’t go wrong with those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is very friendly and this place is popular, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have some spare time, you might like to visit Avakas Gorge<\/strong><\/a>, there is a turn towards it when you leave the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n
