RECOMMENDATIONS

If you’ve never been to Ayia Napa or the surrounding areas before, we’re here to help with any questions you may have.
Perhaps you’re looking for the best places to stay or things to do? Maybe you’d like a restaurant recommendation or somewhere to hire quad bikes or buggies?
Whatever it is, be sure to check out our popular Official Recommendations below.

With 25 years experience in Ayia Napa and over 50,000 followers across our socials, we decided to put together an “Official Recommendations” list to help people out as we get so many questions each and every day asking for our recommendations.
If a company is on our list, it means that we have PERSONALLY stayed there or used the companies services. This in turn means you have the peace of mind when using their services, that they are safe, reputable and of high quality.
We have also included some links to videos we have taken so this will give you a much better idea of what to expect.
We will only recommend a business we have PERSONALLY used, whether that be a hotel, restaurant, bar or boat business etc.

This is our personal favourite.
Set in the heart of Ayia Napa, just next to Pizza Hut, it’s set in the perfect location.
The owner has years of experience in the restaurant industry and it certainly shows in the food and the service.
We highly recommend the T-bone steak which comes on a sizzling bed of onions on a hot plate with a separate plate for your chips and salad.
Then if you’ve still got room, go for the Choco chip paradise pie as it is AMAZING!

VIEWS

Cape Greco and the sea cavesSEA CAVES & CAPE GRECO
These are our 2 favourite places to visit for views and especially for a sunset.

If you climb down a little you can access the perfect spot for the sunset.
Alternatively go to the highest point at the top of Cape Greco and watch the sunset there.
Make sure you put on bug spray though if you’re there for the sunset.
