CHILDREN FRIENDLY PLACES
Cyprus is definitely a family-friendly destination. The culture revolves around the (extended) family and children are adored. Stripped back to basics, beaches, castles, ancient sights and virtual year-round sunshine are pretty good raw ingredients. Add to this water sports, museums, parks, boat rides and loads of ice cream, and it becomes serious spoil-them-rotten time.
CAFES AND BARS
DE MOLAY BAR
A unique opportunity to have a drink in a Crusader Church! The Twin Churches of the Knights Templars and Hospitallers were built in the late 13th century and acted as headquarters for both orders in Cyprus. De Molay Bar is named after the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay.
De Molay Bar is a fusion of historical atmosphere and hipster culture, serving a wide range of craft beers and funky cocktails; by day it is a good place to hang out and try a selection of freshly-ground coffees. By night, this is a highly popular events venue with outdoor seating and a great choice of cool bands and performance artists. History and entertainment intertwined to create a refreshingly different night out. Not suprisingly, this venue is a great favourite with the locals and not so locals of all ages. Excellent service and a friendly welcome extended to all, man-bun or not!

Hamam Inn Bar
Probably the most historic bar in Cyprus! The Hamam İnn is situated on the corner of Namik Kemal Square, just next to St. Francis church and is housed in an Ottoman building which was originally a Turkish Bath. Called the Cafer Paşa Hamamı, it was built in 1601 and named after a Governor of Famagusta, who officiated under the reign of Sultan Ahmet I. Its architecture is typical of the Ottoman style and is laid out in the traditional way of Turkish baths with different hot and cool rooms. But the original part of the building dates back to the Middle Ages; one of the rooms was in fact part of St. Francis Church next door which was built in the early part of the 14th century.
Which makes is a fascinating place to drink a cocktail or a glass of wine after a day exploring the sights of the Walled City. The interior has been spendidly decorated, respecting the spirit and history of the building – a very atmospheric and highly unusual bar!

Aspava Restaurant & Bar
Aspava Restaurant & Bar has been open since March 1975 and is a family affair, run by two brothers. Set in a pleasant courtyard under a vine lattice, the restaurant is always lively – a favourite with tourists at lunch time and with locals in the evening.
There is no menu and no prices displayed but don’t be daunted by this, this is traditional to the Cypriot way of eating – first meze, then kebabs and grilled meat. The meze are brought out, cold ones first then the hot ones. But don’t fill up on them and don’t eat too much bread, the main part of the meal is yet to come! Unlike other traditional restaurants of this style, the meat dishes are not brought separately but arrive on an impressively huge platter piled high with mixed meat kebabs, chops, chicken and other grills. Make sure you are hungry! Very good value for money.

Fa Kebab
As you enter the Walled City of Famagusta by the Land Gate, (Akkule, Ravelin, or Rivettina Bastion), you are greeted with an enticing smoky smell of grilled meat. This is coming from Fa Kebap, a kebab and meat restaurant just on the right of the entrance to the Old Town.
A traditional kebab joint which serves huge portions of all sorts of grilled meats – beef, lamb, chicken, liver, Adana kebab, meatballs, succulent lamb chops, juicy Cypriot sausages and the “Oh my God Menu” which includes all of this and serves 4 to 8 people! Everything is served with flatbread, freshly-prepared salad and homemade chips.
The open kitchen means that you can see for yourself the spotless kitchen and watch as your meal is prepared in front of you. It is the type of place where the local football team will drop in after a match, where the lads will go for a kebab and a drink of an evening, but it is also the place you take your mother out to lunch or where you all go as a family treat – the kids will love it! Prices are very reasonable and there is both outside and inside seating.
