Apart from an impressive selection of vegetarian restaurant Ayia Napa Cyprus, there are several outstanding fish restaurants to try in the iconic seaside town. In many Cyprus fish restaurants, the catch of the day is sold by weight. Then simply choose your fish, check its weight and then onto the grill it goes. So, what’s the best seafood restaurant Ayia Napa to enjoy fresh fish?

The Vassos Fish Tavern is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in the area. The history goes something like, in a beautiful scenery right in front of the picturesque Ayia Napa Harbour, a local fisherman named Vassos was inspired to create his Tavern back in 1962. Ever since the restaurant has inviting tourists and locals to come and enjoy freshly caught fish by local fishermen. Here you can select your own fish and ask for your favourite way to be cooked with the sauce you prefer!

And there’s no shortage of fish to choose from including Mullets, Local Snappers, Courcounes, White Sea Bream, Parrot Fish, Gopa, Sardines, Prawns, Mussels, Calamari, Octopus, Oysters, Cuttle Fish, Fresh Salmon, Live Lobster, Swordfish, Sea Bass, and of course our Specialty Blue Fin Tuna are just a few of the many delights you can find fresh on the day.

What are the best Ayia Napa beach bars?

The Ayia Napa food is pretty awesome but, what to do in Ayia Napa apart from eating? With one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, swimming and relaxing by the sea is one of the main reasons people come here. After a warm day in the sun why not visit one of the many Ayia Napa beach bars? Ayia Napa has almost 100 bars to choose from. There is somewhere to suit all tastes and all types of people. There are bars spread all over the area, from the busy party bars around the square, to trendy lounge and cocktail bars, to cheerful family-friendly bars away from the centre all creating a nice holiday vibe. Vegetarian restaurant Ayia Napa will be easy for you!

Perhaps one of the most famous bars is Café del Mar in Sandy Bay. A fairly newly opened bar its a chilled out and stylish place to relax with a cocktail of choice to the beat of Cafe del Mar chill out playlists (back in the days they could be found on CDs). The bar is open from early in the morning although most popular to visit for the sunset when the drinks are flowing making it one of the real hot spots in Ayia Napa. 

Another bar worth visiting is the Levels Beach Bar at the Asterias Beach Hotel which opened last summer. This is the perfect spot to kick back with a cocktail and relax as the waves softly lap up against the shore. Located within the grounds of the popular Asterias Beach Hotel at Makronissos Bay, the bar is literally situated right on the beach. Make yourself comfortable among the many cushy seats and low tables for the ultimate chilled holiday vibe. 

If you are looking to enjoy some funky chilled music by the sea, look no further. The Beachouse Dome at the Dome Beach Hotel and Resort is a real winner. The popular bar is fairly new and attracts people who are looking for a more quiet spot away from the frantic party scene. If you are looking to kick back with a group of friends or perhaps even with a date, make sure you head over to Beachhouse Dome, which as the name suggests, feels like a beach house. Enjoy some funky jazz tunes mixed with house music and try the local cocktails or perhaps an ice-cold frappe or a mocktail.
