If it wasn't swimming this morning, it doesn't reach your plate.
Thalassa began as a single blue table on the Limassol promenade, where our grandfather sold whatever the boats brought in that morning. Thirty years on, the table has become a taverna — but the rule has never changed.

Loved by the locals.
"The octopus alone is worth the flight to Cyprus. We watched the sun go down over the water and somehow ordered everything twice."

"Proper Cypriot mezze, no shortcuts. The halloumi with carob honey ruined every other halloumi for me. Andreas came out to say hello — feels like family."

"We come every Sunday after the beach. The catch of the day is never the same twice and that's exactly the point. Best seafront table in Limassol."
