Kathodon Greek Tavern
Καθ'οδόν
Greek tavern at the end of Ledra Street, right beside the crossing point, with live Greek music every evening.
Kathodon is at 62D Ledra Street, right beside the crossing point to North Nicosia. It is said to be the earliest restaurant to open along this stretch after 1974. The menu is Greek with Asia Minor influences: Florina roasted peppers, Smyrna meatballs, slow-roasted lamb kleftiko, yogurt kebabs, and for dessert Samali made with Aegina pistachios. A meze set includes more than a dozen dishes. Live Greek music plays every evening and on weekend afternoons, creating a lively mood. Those who prefer quiet conversation may find it noisy. It is geared toward visitors and prices run slightly high, but it remains one of Nicosia's top-ranked old-established tavernas on TripAdvisor.
Opening hours
