Brunch in the Mountains: 20+1 Hidden Village Spots in Cyprus Worth the Drive

Because sometimes, brunch tastes better with mountain air and cobblestone charm.

As much as we love strolling through the city, nothing compares to a day trip to Cyprus’s villages — crisp mountain air, lush trails, stone-paved alleys, courtyards scented with basil and jasmine, and locals who welcome you as if they’ve known you forever.

In recent years, something even more delightful has emerged across the countryside: charming little cafés and eateries — some traditional, others modern — now serve brunch that blends Cypriot flavors with creative twists. Using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, these spots bring together the essence of the island with genuine passion and hospitality.

From vine-covered courtyards and restored schoolhouses to riverside taverns and botanical gardens, we’ve rounded up 20+1 village brunch spots across Cyprus that are worth a weekend escape. Gather your friends, grab your camera, and set off for a brunch with a view — of the village.
