Between beach parties, delicious taverns and restaurants up to clubs with live music and discos with incredible parties and populated by thousands of boys and girls, the nightlife of Ayia Napa does not disappoint anyone in terms of entertainment!
The nightlife of Aya Napa is concentrated around the main road that runs through the city from east to west and around the main square, called Plateia Sefet , with dozens of bars, restaurants, pubs and numerous bizarre and extravagant clubs, from those inspired by the Flintstones , where the bartenders wear leopard-print costumes, up to those related to the theme of King Arthur.

The many discos and clubs often organize theme nights or events with international DJs, and are open from June to the end of August (some even from April to the end of November).
Many clubs offer free admission for those who enter during opening hours or in the low season, while during the high season it is possible to pay up to 25 euros depending on the event. However, all the clubs have PR who distribute discounted tickets or promotions on drinks. There is no dress code, so you will find a wide range of styles, mostly very imaginative: in general, Ayia Napa is a fairly informal place and, as there is a warm climate for most of the year, the most people wear shorts and a T-shirt.
The party already starts at noon, when young people begin to pour onto the beach of Nissi Beach where, until 7.00 pm, the music of the DJs resounds and people dance and have fun.
Although most of the bars around the square and the main street of Ayia Napa open at 20.00, many clubs are already open from cocktail hour, and it is possible to eat while listening to music.
In the early evening, the bars offering the cheapest drinks tend to be busier than the bars in the city centre. The venues at the lower end of the strip, along Nissi Avenue and towards the port, are more popular with families, couples and those wanting a quieter night out.
But the real fun begins around 1.00, when the Ayia Napa clubs open their doors and people go wild on the dance floor, while the various bars compete with each other to the sound of music to attract the crowd. The clubs usually close around 5 in the morning, but some of them stay open until 7 or 8. At the end of the evening it is common to see many guys meeting at the beach for a swim or to hit on some girl they just met at the disco.
