The Boathouse was started by Spyros and Diane in 1989 as one of the first fish restaurants on Kamari Beach, at that time there was very little along Kamari Beach and nothing on either side or behind the original Boathouse. Restaurant Patrons walked for about 1/2 an hour along the rocky beach path from the then centre of Kamari (down near the cliff side) for some of the freshest fish on the island (caught by many of Spyros' good friends). Slowly Kamari built up all around and the beach road was put through to The Boathouse.
