The Busiest Party Bars in Ayia NapaThe busiest bars in Ayia Napa are located close to the main square. Circus Square, as the main square is now known, is very busy at peak season and there is often open air entertainment. The bars in the main square often don't open until early June and then close mid August so this is a mid summer party destination.
At the edge of the square Ambassaden is always one of Ayia Napa's busiest bars from March right through to November. Bazaar Bar is the place to head to for RnB or head round the corner, via Monkey Business bar, to Titanic, and Hollywood Bar. The area between these bars is usually filled with people spilling out into the street and has a great atmosphere. Further along you come to Castle Bar and Bedrock which both get very busy. Castle Bar plays predominantly house music, whilst Bedrock is more for chart and club classics. Turn the next corner and Aruba, Encore, Kahlua and Pirates all compete to play the loudest music and have the most people dancing on bars. This area is usually busy from early in the evening right through until the small hours. The area from Castle Bar round the Kahlua is popular all through the summer from April through to October, whereas the main square is quieter outside of June and July. |
Nights out in Ayia NapaThe bars around Ayia Napa's main square and the roads leading off it are where to head to for busy nights out. These party bars are Ayia Napa's most popular with the young clubbing crowd. Music is usually EDM, house or RnB/urban music and these bars are loud. There is little seating as these bars get so busy that all space is used for dancing or mingling.
The bars around the town centre usually open around 9pm but get busiest after around 10.30 pm. The music has to go off by 1.30am but some bars will still serve drinks after this time, some until as late as 3am. Not every night in Ayia Napa has to be a crazy one and there are plenty of bars where you can sit down, enjoy some cocktails, watch a tribute show, or just enjoy time with family or friends. These bars are located slightly away from the main square; on the strip, towards the harbour or on Nissi Avenue. There are plenty to choose from to suit all tastes and budgets with cheap and cheerful drinks offers or luxury champagne cocktails on offer. |
