Kathikas Village & Gastronomy

Renowned culinary village on the Laona plateau, home to Vasilikon Winery and top-tier village tavernas.

Perched at 650 meters altitude, Kathikas is celebrated as the gastronomy capital of the Paphos hinterland. Preserved stone architecture and shaded courtyards define its relaxed rhythm.

It is home to the esteemed Vasilikon Winery, pioneers of crisp local Xinisteri, and an array of revered family tavernas (Imogen's Inn, Yiannis) serving exceptional slow-cooked lamb and regional meze.

Tips before you go

  • Visit Vasilikon Winery for a guided tasting of their celebrated dry whites and reds.
  • Book ahead for courtyard dining at Imogen's Inn or To Stekki.
  • Explore the charming village Gin Garden for herb-infused cocktails.
