Oniro Restaurant Update

Published 15th of April, 2025

At the start of February we reported that Oniro Restaurant had been demolished. Apparently they are rebuilding it over the next couple of years, with a temporary restaurant appearing in the meantime. We popped down the other day to see how they were getting on.

Updated Ice Cream Parlour

Oniro Restaurant is a popular spot, and lots of people were horrified to see it was getting knocked down. However, it soon became known that the measure was only temporary, and that the owners were doing a major upgrade. The location is very well known, because the wreck of the Edro III is right next to it, and that is a very popular tourist draw.

It looks like the owners of the Ice Cream Parlour opposite Oniro have also stepped in to fill the void. It appears to have been given its own makeover to a Coffee Shop.

And yes, the clouds really were that dark. We had some rain, but it is sunny as I sit and write this on tuesday morning in another Coffee Shop in downtown Paphos.

Oniro Restaurant Area

Last time we visited I was able to wander around the site, as the demolition work had ended but the construction work was yet to begin. That wasn't possible today, so I would have to be content with walking around the border.

Windy Day

There was a bit of a gale blowing when we visited so I didn't send the drone up. You will have to rely on regular shots I'm afraid. Also, there is a barrier around the site now, at least on this side, so I shall walk round the other side to see what we can see.

Nice View

The restaurant location is excellent, you have some lovely views here, especially when the sea is a bit rough.

The Other Side

The barrier extended quite a way around the site, to just past the coastal entrance to the restaurant, which is obviously closed at the moment.

All Change At Oniro

Oniro Restaurant can be found on the coast of Peyia, between Coral Bay and Cap St George. It is right next to the wreck of the Edro III. Or at least, it used to be. Now all that remains is a pile of rubble. What is going on? We went to see for ourselves...

The Wreck of the Edro III

On a dark and stormy night, back in the winter of 2011, a ship set sail from Limassol with a cargo of plasterboard, bound for Greece. It experienced difficulties near the Sea Caves area, and ran aground in a rather picturesque strip of coastline. Thankfully, all hands were saved, and overnight, a new tourist attraction was born.
