Rafters was built in 1973, just prior to the inter-communal problems, and was a private bungalow. By the early 90's it had fallen into disrepair. In 1995 it was purchased by Geraldine and Werner Fayers who spent months renovating the place into what we know and love today. During the renovation process, Werner removed then ceiling and exposed the rafters – which he restored with loving care. Hence the name!Living space was added above the restaurant and Palm trees planted as well as a pond built. The car park and garden have two Olive trees which are reputed to be 1800 and 2000 years old!Some years after Geraldine and Werner retired, Abbas took over the place in February 2006. Abbas asked them both to come and assist restoring it as they used to have it. The result is that Rafters truly is a relaxing dining experience in the most pleasant of surroundings.Slightly off the beaten track, it really is an oasis in the olive grove - and palm trees!
