Ayia Napa Nightlife 

If you are planning a trip to Ayia Napa, then more than likely you have heard about the amazing nightlife entertainment.  All of the nightlife excitements are open until daybreak, meaning that the night scene will not typically start again until around 11pm.  If you are used to heading to a bar at 8pm and the night is well under way, then you will have to reset your body clock.  There are more than 20 clubs and a dozen bars.  You could go to a few or all of them.  Either way, you will be thrilled with the socializing choices and the fabulous nightlife.  

  1. The “Square” is deserted until around 9:30pm. 
  2. Many clubs will not open until after 1am. 
  3. Admission fees can be a little high so be prepared to budget your funds around. Promo people are usually good in this situation, and if you look hard, you can find some cheap advance tickets.
  4. Some bars have arrangements with clubs.  One of the bars behind “Castle” offers buy 1 get 1 free on drinks and will give you a free entrance ticket into Castle.

The Square is generally the first place that tourists turn to for nightlife.  While the area looks small, there is a lot of entertainment packed into the area, with plenty of bars and clubs.  The drink prices in the bars and clubs are generally the same as in other European bars.  Inquire about any specials that the place might have for drinks.  The clubbing scene in the area is legendary with major DJ’s names appearing at the most popular clubs. 
While the area is packed with various types of social behaviors, there is usually not any trouble between clubbers or locals.  Most people in the area observe general club and bar etiquette.  The atmosphere is positive, with everyone in a great mood about all of the exciting entertainment.  Make sure that you visit Bedrock for a round of karaoke, and The Heaven Rock Garden for past and present rock music.   

Many hotels have their own nightly entertainment, with a band that plays on a regular basis.  Hotels and resorts also offer Greek nights and folk dancing.  You might even find that the drink prices in the hotels are much more affordable.  Be wary about visiting another hotel, other than your own place that you are staying at.  The resorts have strict policies about visitors attending without guests.  If you are staying at a resort with exciting nightlife, then it might be a better option to stay at the complex.  With the price for admission into the clubs, you will save more money for the entire vacation. 

All of the bars and clubs are within a minute or two minute walk from one another.  It is very easy to visit all of them if you have the time and the money.  What distinguishes Ayia Napa from other locations around the island is the variety of nightlife choices.  You can go bowling, followed by club hopping for several hours, and ending with several bars.  The possibilities are endless and you will soon realize why Ayia Napa is so popular.
