Cypriot dishes & meze · Tombs of the Kings
Karlina Restaurant
A restaurant opposite the Tombs of the Kings area, with Cypriot mains, meat meze and fish meze menus.
Karlina combines Cypriot cooking with a broader international selection on Tombs of the Kings Avenue. Its published menus separate meze, fish meze and à la carte choices, while examples of the cooking include moussaka, kleftiko and stifado. It is worth comparing when you want to keep a meal near the archaeological visit rather than returning to the harbour.

Meze is a meal format, not just a dish
Choose meze for a sequence of sharing plates, or an individual main if the group wants different things or a shorter stop. Ask how many people must order the meze and whether a fish selection suits everyone at the table. Do not add several large starters automatically before understanding what is included.
Make archaeology the main event
Visit the tombs first when that is the purpose of your outing, then let lunch provide the pause afterwards. Allow for the site’s uneven ground and outdoor exposure rather than scheduling a meal immediately after a tightly timed visit. Elysium and the surrounding hotel area provide a more natural base for this pairing than a distant Coral Bay or Geroskipou hotel.
The restaurant and archaeological site sit on different sides of the main road. Use the pedestrian crossings and the actual visitor entrance.
