Varoshiotis Seafood Restaurant in Larnaca, Larnaca District, Cyprus | Restaurant

Vasos Varoshiotis was 12 years old when he first went to Famagusta (Varosi) -in 1940 -and started working in a Restaurant, washing dishes for a wage of 6 "grosia" (coins, piastres) per month. Ambitious as he was and with hard work, he bought the business from his boss and took over the Restaurant himself -along with his wife, Florentia -which became the base for the success of the enterprise.
Soon it developed into one of the most popular family Restaurants, operated by members of the Varoshiotis family. After the Turkish invasion of 1974, the family was forced to abandon it and escaped to Larnaca where they settled. Very soon they opened a seafood Restaurant on the beach, offering good food, the familiar hospitality, and the indispensable service they have always offered. Today the Restaurant is in the hands of the ensuing generation of the family, and the story goes onâ?¦
