Waiter jobs in Ayia Napa: work in the sun, party on Nissi Beach and live the dream

In a nutshell: waiter jobs in Ayia Napa are amongst the most sought-after holiday jobs in Cyprus.

Dreaming of working in Cyprus? It’s never been easier! Here’s the thing: tourism in Ayia Napa is booming — hoteliers and restaurant owners are crying out for English-speaking waiters — trained or not.

Basic English is fine. Bonus points if you’re fluent in British English!

And mega bonus points if you speak German, Polish, Swedish, Hebrew, Greek or Russian.  

Pro tip: check out Google Maps! Fire off applications to hotels at Vathia Gonia Beach, Limanaki Beach, Pantachou Beach and Glyki Nero Beach. You’ll find their websites right there on Google Maps. Most of these Ayia Napa town centre hotels open year-round.

Fancy just the summer season? Sorted! Check out hotels at Makronissos Beach, Landa Beach and Nissi Beach on Google Maps. They’re usually open April to November — ideal for soaking up the sun without the winter shifts. 😎

Are you from the Philippines, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka or the UK? You’re in luck! Our hoteliers actively seek waiters from these countries, with or without experience. 

Top tip: apply at upmarket hotels — they’ll sort your work permit for you.

Applicants from the EU — especially Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary — jump the queue. Our hoteliers have had brilliant experiences with waiters from these countries, plus sorting the paperwork for EU citizens is a breeze.  

Living the dream of working in Cyprus has never been easier! This is your sign to live it up in Ayia Napa all year long. 😉 

Have a brilliant day. 😎 Take care! Cheers, Markus

Is it safe to visit Makronissos Tombs alone?

Yes, of course! Ayia Napa is safe day and night. Super low crime rate!

What’s the story behind Makronissos Tombs?

The Tombs of Makronissos were discovered in 1872.  Archaeologists finally rocked up in 1989. 

What took them 117 years? Your guess is as good as mine. Reckon they got stuck on Odysseus’s route and just kept sailing in circles. 🤔⛵️ 

The tomb raiders? They skipped the Odyssey bit and went direct. 🏴‍☠️⚔️💰

The proper dig started in November 1989 and was all wrapped up by January 1990 — quick job, that (clearly got their priorities sorted this time).   

Nineteens tombs from the Hellenistic and Roman eras — that’s what they found. Not too shabby for a couple of months’ work, innit?

Most of the Makronissos Ancient Tombs are still in rather good nick (a bit dusty but nothing a broom couldn’t fix). 

Sadly, a few tombs took a bit of a beating ages ago when cheeky Cypriots nicked the stones to build their gaffs. 🏠 Can’t beat free bricks, I suppose. 🧱

A typical Makronissos Tomb comes with a stepped dromos — the ancient Greek word for the approach to the burial chamber — plus a stomion (the tomb’s version of a front door).

Back in the day, they sealed it all up with slabs of calcarenite (think the ancient world’s version of flat-pack stonework). 😂🥁😉

Inside, the burial chambers are very much cut from the same cloth — or rather, the same rock. 😏 

There’s a rectangular hollow slap bang in the middle of the floor and stone benches carved into the walls. Looks a bit like an ancient waiting room if you ask me… just without the magazines. 😂🥁😉

Some Makronissos Ancient Tombs have a little bonus niche in the burial chamber. The posh ones? Two chambers and room for up to five bodies. Quite the family plot for the bigwigs.

Pro tip: if you pop over to Thalassa Municipal Museum in Ayia Napa, you’ll get to eyeball a cracking sarcophagus nicked straight from the Makronissos Tombs.

What’s the story behind Makronissos Sanctuary?

During their rummage around the Ancient Cemetery of Makronissos, archaeologists came across what looks like a cult site — basically a big stone rectangle, cobbled together with whatever rocks were lying about. The fancy name of the ancient cult site? Makronissos Sanctuary.

The handful of offerings dug up there point to the cult site being in use during the Hellenistic era (that’s 323 to 30 BC, if you’re counting) and the Roman period after that (all the way up to 324 AD). Not exactly yesterday!

Is there parking at Makronissos Tombs?
