Where to go in Larnaca?

Postby GG » Thu Aug 24, 2006 2:08 am

Which are the popular bars or clubs?

Which are the recommended eateries.

I think I know Larnaca well but when I went last November I couldn't really find anywhere that had more than 2 people in it. :lol:

I'll be there for the first 2 weeks of September so hopefully should be much busier. I just want good music and good atmosphere.

Any recommendations?

Plus I want a few nights Bouzoukia, are there any left?, I used to go to Venus on McKenzie Beach, still there?


ps. Is club Memphis still there? And Iguana?

Venus is still going.
Dhekalia Road is pretty dead although Iguana is still there. Anyone remember Stringfellows on Dhekalia back in the 80's/90's?
Memphis is still there, but has been renamed and is 2 clubs now. (Anyone remember it when it was Cloud 9?)
The coffee drinkers seem to make up the majority of people out and about in the evenings. There is a new club where the old cinema used to be opposite Preserve called Dracula. Very nice club. Older crowd with a strict door policy. CCTV and you get buzzed in. Basically, if they don't like your face they won't open the door :roll:
Circus is still around as is Preserve and Karma.

I think it was called Stoa Cinema. It's where the Body Shop used to be.

I remember Stringfellows, I was too young to go but those were the days when Larnaca was at its peak. Dekelia was so busy every night. Iguana was bursting at the seams. At one point the banned Karaoke from Larnaca because the residents flipped from the noise, it went downhill ever since. You are right about the coffee drinkers, finikoudes seems to be full of people that are scared to get their shoes dirty. I heard Venus has become and arab or russian club, is that right?

Tell me more about Circus, Preserve, Karma and Dracula.

Do people still go to Cozzi's?
