Located on the old road Nicosia-Limassol, between Skarinou and Kofinou, at about 25 km from Larnaca, Ktima Georgiadi is probably one of the best options in Cyprus for a night out with good friends or family. The well-known Greek Cypriot singer Stella Georgiadi and her brother Pieris have made their father's dream come true: the return to innocence, the return to their roots, the return to tradition far away from the bright lights of the city.
Pieris and Stella have turned a traditional, old mansion into a Greek taverna where you can let off steam, eat, drink, dance and sing with Stella and her band. In the summer, you can enjoy the show under the stars and the orange trees where Stella and her siblings played when they were kids.
Last night, Alkis and I had a great time there with good friends. After a long week at work, it was THE perfect night out. Stella will welcome you to her mansion with an old Greek song which she sings amongst her guests without music or micro. A big hand follows and then the show begins with Stella and her band. Prices are reasonable, yet the food needs to be improved.

I am so glad you were able to enjoy yourself after working all week. I return to work after our spring break which began yesterday. I am nervous returning as it has been 5 months out of the classroom. I know that once I am back with my kids, I will be fine but for now... nervousness has beset me. I go through the same thing after Christmas holidays and anytime I am away from my class for any length of time. Grrrr I hate my insecurities.

Glad to see you and your friends had a great night out. I haven't heard of that place before. Must be new.

I can understand your insecurities. Just bear in mind that your kids miss you too! I always miss my kids after any holiday! :-)

I think I've seen this place on tv but haven't been there yet. Sounds cool! Thanks for the photos and the video. It was nice to see that you and Alkis had fun there.

We should arrange a night out together, Stefania - just the four of us. I'm sure you'll love Ktima Georgiadi.

Glad to see that you and Alkis and your friends had such a great night out. I love this sort of tavernas where you can have fun, listen to great music, eat and drink without necessarily having to pay a fortune. The video is awesome!
