Ayia Napa's nightlife is concentrated around The Square, where dozens of bars, clubs, and cafes line the streets. The scene peaks in July and August when the town fills with young Europeans and international DJs pass through the bigger venues. Most bars open in the early evening and run until the small hours, with clubs keeping going until 4 or 5 am.
During the day, cafes around town serve good coffee and light meals -- useful for recovering from the night before. The strip along Nissi Avenue and the area around the harbour are slightly more relaxed spots for a daytime drink.
