Ok, it’s time for the fun bit. While the conference is undeniably exciting (especially at the Advidi Booth), remember that we’re on a Mediterranean island, so let’s enjoy some delicious food, savor refreshing drinks, and experience the vibrant atmosphere Cyprus has to offer.
Dining Delights
- Bistrot 55 – Cyprus is a paradise for foodies, so make sure to treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience at Bistrot 55. Nestled in a scenic seafront setting, Bistrot 55 offers more than just a meal; it offers a journey for your taste buds. The menu boasts mouthwatering gastronomical dishes that are prepared with skill and creativity and showcase the finest local ingredients and flavors. A must-visit for food enthusiasts.
- Old Neighbourhood Tavern* – If you’re looking for a local restaurant serving traditional Cypriot food then head to this cozy tavern in the heart of the old city. When a restaurant has been serving the same classic seafood dishes for over 30 years, you know they’ve got it down pat. The menu is (partially) dependent on what they’ve caught that day, so prepare to be a little bit flexible. Look, this place gets busy so be sure to make a reservation.
- Fat Fish* – Perched by the Bay of Limassol, with the beach and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, Fat Fish is a seafood lover’s paradise. Dive into a menu that pays homage to the delicious Cypriot flavors with freshly caught fish and seafood. But hold on, meat lovers. Fear not, for prime quality meats also grace the stage. In a relaxed environment with friendly staff, you’re guaranteed to have a unique dining experience.
- Duionysus Mansion – Serving refreshing cocktails and specialized Cypriot and Greek cuisine under a beautiful canopy of trees, this is a must-visit. From mouthwatering souvlaki to creamy tzatziki, each dish is crafted with the utmost care and authentic flavors. We give their courtyard 10 points for ambiance with its soft lighting and lively music.
Cheers!
- Malindi Beach Bar* – A dreamy spot for a meal and to relax. Choose from a delectable array of seafood dishes or opt for the fresh catch of the day, expertly cooked on a natural charcoal grill right before your eyes. The Malindi Beach Bar effortlessly combines mouthwatering cuisine with unobstructed views of the Mediterranean. A match made in heaven.

A seamless and enjoyable experience is assured!
- Columbia Beach Bar – Picture yourself sipping on refreshing cocktails, feeling the salty breeze on your face. Look, it might be one of the most Instagrammable bars in Limassol, but it can back up that title with quality cocktails drinks and tasty food. Add sunbeds, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere, and you’ve got yourself a one-of-a-kind experience.
