Napa Notables - an insight into Ayia Napa's vibrant culture
The main street is packed with restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, and grocery stores, making Ayia Napa perfect for a lively or laid-back beach getaway. Nissi Beach is the area’s most famous, with white sands, turquoise waters, water sports, and sunbeds for rent (€2.50).
During the summer, Nissi Bay Beach Bar hosts beach parties with famous DJs, guest artists, and foam parties. For a beachside stay, Nissi Beach Resort is a top choice.
For a more natural experience, visit Cape Greco for unspoiled beauty, turquoise waters, and iconic sea caves. You can even take a jump into the water from the cliffside (be careful climbing back up).
WaterWorld, one of Europe’s top water parks, is open April to October. Entry costs €38 for adults and €24 for children (3-12 years), with direct buses from town.
Getting around Ayia Napa is easy and affordable. Buses run every 20 minutes, with tickets at €1.50 by day and €2.50 after 9:00 pm. Other transport options include bikes, scooters, ATVs, and cars.
In terms of nightlife, we loved starting out at Ambassaden or Señor Frogs, both offering great drink deals and friendly service. From there, Carwash and Castle Club were our go-to clubs for lively music and atmosphere.
For dining, I recommend Abacus and Al Ritrovo for dinner. And if you’re looking for a quick bite, The Bakery Co. is a great daytime stop. We stayed at River Rock Hotel on both visits—a clean hotel with a good pool, fantastic bar, and friendly staff who made us feel right at home.
I hope this is a good insight for those who have thought about visiting here. Stay tuned for the next blog on Copenhagen and Malmö!
