Arapis Coral Bay restaurant

Right on Corallia Beach in Peyia, Arapis Coral Bay is a family-owned seafood tavern where diners enjoy fresh fish and traditional Cypriot cooking just steps from the sand. Established as a long-standing local institution, it pairs generous, home-style portions with sweeping Mediterranean sea views from a large outdoor terrace. The menu leans on the daily catch and Cypriot classics, with guests praising dishes such as stifado, grilled octopus, swordfish and hearty moussaka, alongside fresh salads and lighter options like tuna baguettes.

A warm, welcoming team is known for good value and small touches like a complimentary fruit-and-cake plate to finish. With free parking, an on-site playground and a relaxed, lively atmosphere, it is a natural fit for families, groups and holidaymakers looking for an authentic seaside lunch. Open daily from 9:30am to 7:30pm, it works equally well for a mid-beach bite, a leisurely lunch or an early dinner by the water. Visitors after a quiet, upscale beach-club setting should note its cheerful, traditional taverna vibe.
