Hard Rock Cafe
Hard Rock Cafe Ayia Napa
π€΅ββοΈ Service
Polite and pleasant people work here. They helped us with the selection and brought the order quickly. In general, there is nothing to add, everything was very good.
πͺ΄ Atmosphere
The cafe is visible from afar and can be recognized by the guitar that lights up at night. The cafe occupies an entire building, with 3 floors. The first two floors are suitable for visiting with friends or family, but on the third - the atmosphere is more for evening relaxation, where you can dance, drink something, enjoying the orange evening sky.
We were here in the summer, sitting on the first floor. It was very hot. The ceiling fans were helpless. Therefore, we suggest choosing a table on the terrace or on the balcony.
In general, it is interesting here, you can sit and look at various fotos, newspaper clippings, guitars. There are many of them here. Wooden tables, dark red leather seats, wooden fans. The cafe has their own store, where you can buy various of their branded items. It's cool.
π Food
We ordered the original legendary burger, fries with cheese sauce and bacon. It was not tasty at all. Sorry.. The meat was greasy, the bun was stale. We realized that it is simply not ours. Unfortunately there were too many unnatural flavors for us.

Great place for desserts π°
π€΅ββοΈ Service
Since there are a lot of places for guests and there are also a lot of guests from morning to evening, there are also a lot of waiters here. When you enter a restaurant, they immediately approach you and ask what you would like.
If you take dessert to go, you get a 5% discount.
Actually everything was fine, except one case. I didnβt like it just when they paid with a card, they asked how we would pay the tip, as if they were definitely expected.
πͺ΄ Atmosphere
The restaurant is located in the corner of the street, occupies a two-story building. They have a cozy summer playground. Inside is a modern interior, a combination of gray velvet, green and gold.
It is a pleasure to sit on the second floor, especially at a table by the window, which offers a beautiful view of the old architectural building. There are many visitors here, it will be noisy π or come in the morning, around 8-10.
π₯ Food
The restaurant serves a standard Cypriot breakfast, sweet and savory pancakes, salads, meat dishes.
All dishes are not the same as in taverns, more modern.
The most important thing here is probably the desserts.
- Many different types of cheesecake
- brownies - I definitely recommend you to try one with cheese, itβs very delicious
- cookies
- red velvet.
Everything is cooked by their chef, not imported and served in big pieces.
Try their own juices or fresh juices, even more like smoothies, very tasty.

What souvenir to bring from Cyprus
Cyprus, as you know, is divided into two parts: northern (Turkish part) and southern (Greek part). I think it is worth visiting both there and to understand life in Cyprus better.
Souvenirs are probably also better to lead from both parts.
Standard list of souvenirs from Cyprus:
π§Έ Things:
- a magnet, where without it, I advise you to choose the one that best describes your impressions of the stay here
- Ceramic products
- Silver jewelry, jewelry made of pearls, natural stones
- Lefkara lace
- Natural soap, black charcoal toothpaste, aloe, natural creams
- Leather Products
- Icons, crosses
- Dresses, men's suits, if you love clothes
π Food:
- Olive oil, if available preferably fresh.
- Olives
- Halloumi cheese, feta cheese.
- Cypriot delight, with coconut flakes, nuts
- Sujokus
- Syrup, chocolates with carob
- Commandaria wine
- Vodka Zivania
- Vodka Quzo
- Halva from sesame
β€οΈ Personally, I would take:
- delicious pomegranate, passion fruit if season
- fresh cheese from the Militzis restaurant
- Zivania vodka to friends
- magnet
- sesame halvah
- carob syrup

This is a small women's clothing store from Cypriot brands.
I really like such places, just through them you can get acquainted with the local culture, the life of people closer and feel here not as a tourist, but as a resident of Cyprus.
π I advise you to come and meet the owner of the store, Barbara. She is also a designer and you can also find her clothing collection here.
π By the way, I bought myself flared trousers and a soft cotton skirt. The fabric is so pleasant to the body that it is a great pleasure to wear it.
β¨ Barbara selects brands and clothes that she plans to present in the showroom as for herself, therefore the quality is really good. I also think you will like that all products are in limited quantity so you don't have to be afraid to meet someone else in the same dress or skirt.

After visiting one restaurant on Mackenzie and after 20 minutes waiting for the waiter to order, we left and went to Salamis, which was the exact opposite.
The waiters were very friendly, attentive and quickly brought orders. We also want to note their patience with customers, as we ordered one dish, then changed our minds and ordered another. To which they simply told us that everything would be done.
πͺ΄ Atmosphere
The restaurant is located between two beaches, road and parking. But Cypriots know how to create comfort even in such a place. There is a summer terrace, where it is cool even in extreme heat.
There are many TVs inside the restaurant, which allows you to come with a company and enjoy a sports match and good food
π₯ Food
This is a Cypriot restaurant with all the national dishes of Cyprus, and a large selection of fresh fish.

While you are waiting for your dish, pickles, pita will be brought to you, ask to heat it up so that it tastes better.
It would be nice to try moussaka here - served in a pot, dolmades as an appetiser, Greek salad, sheftalia. Ask also for sauce - hummus or satsiki. You'll like it.
Mushroom soup - we didn't really like it, but it's just not the right dish to order here.
