About

Kalamies Beach Restaurant has been a family‑run gem on Protaras’ golden sands since 1976, offering a blend of traditional Cypriot flavors and fresh Mediterranean seafood. Set amid whitewashed walls and a gentle sea breeze, the restaurant boasts a panoramic view of the Mediterranean that transforms from a tranquil sunrise to a glittering starlit sky at night. The décor is simple yet elegant, with tables lit by candles and a relaxed, waterfront vibe that makes every meal feel like a private celebration. Whether you’re craving grilled octopus, fresh sea bass, or hearty meze platters, the menu is crafted from locally sourced ingredients sourced from the harbor’s daily catch, ensuring every dish bursts with flavor. Guests praise the welcoming Cypriot hospitality, attentive service, and the impeccable freshness of the seafood, making Kalamies an enduring favourite among locals and tourists alike. The restaurant’s romantic seaside setting is perfect for couples, while families find the kid‑friendly menu and spacious terrace a delightful addition to their holiday. The sunset views over the bay create a memorable backdrop for dinner, while the open‑air patio invites travelers to soak in the Mediterranean’s mild climate and impeccable culinary experience. As a result, Kalamies continues to attract a diverse crowd — from beach‑side diners looking for fresh catches to food enthusiasts eager for authentic Cypriot dishes.
