Our story

A courtyard that remembers your name

Tucked behind a stone arch off a quiet Paphos street, Avli tis Nefelis unfolds like a secret. The scent of freshly ground coffee mingles with jasmine, and the only rush is the breeze through the leaves.

Once a family home, this courtyard cafe still holds the laughter of three generations in its limestone walls. Mornings bring neighbours for Cyprus coffee and just-baked koulouri; afternoons stretch into lazy frappes under the mulberry tree. The kitchen sends out small plates—halloumi drizzled with honey, warm olives, village bread—while conversations drift in Greek and English. In Paphos, where the sea is never far, Avli tis Nefelis feels like a pause between tides.

"Beautiful, magical cafe with the most charming surroundings. Canopy of trees and plants was amazing to sit under on a sunny day. Had Frappes and anari with figs, delicious. Good mix of locals and tourists. Bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommend to spend awhile here!"

"Very nice cafe in a very well-kept garden. Not only are there many different plants here, but also many animals such as ducks, turtles and cats. Some of the cats are very cuddly and affectionate and create a very cozy atmosphere. Here you can relax and spend a pleasant time with friends. In addition to delicious pastries, there are also very fine homemade lemonades, iced tea and various coffee specialties. This place is absolutely recommended."

"We went for our morning coffee and breakfast and it was such a nice surprise this picturesque garden in the center of the city. Truly a hidden gem I would say. The kids especially loved the garden and the fact that they could walk around and discover the small ponds and the plants, etc. The only thing we did not enjoy very much was the very hot weather, so our visit was a bit short:)"
