Chris' Blue Beach Taverna On Curium Beach
An entry from Cyprus journal, by Helen Tanhaie
A wonderful fish taverna right on the curium beach just beneath the cliffs of the Kourion Amphitheatre looking over it. Choose your fish from the fish market style display and they cook it to your requirements and serve with any sides you want, and all while seated within 10 metres of the sea.
Meal
The main dish is fresh fish which is displayed in a market style counter kept fresh with amble ice. You can choose your fish and pay by weight and ask to have it cooked exactly the way you like. The range of fish available depends on the season and catch of the day. The grilled whole octopus is not to be missed, it is served with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, olive oil and a dash of lemon juice and that is it - perfection!
If you are not a great fan of fish there is a whole menu full of local cypriot dishes, including chicken.
Wine and beverages
A range of wines by the glass is available. I had a red wine to to go with the grilled octopus.
Atmosphere and decor
The taverna is has a well placed veranda right on the sandy beach looking out over the Mediterranean and the swimmers and sun bathers. The furniture is typical beach style with nothing very fancy but that is the charm of the place.
Dress code
It’s a beach tavern, so anything from swim suit to smart casual.
Locality
Set right on the beach between the sea and the Kourion Amphitheatre on the cliffs behind.
Service
Local waiters with a professional and efficient demeanor
