Cyprus's premier seafood destination with colorful trawlers, marina piers, and legendary waterfront fish taverns.
Zygi is widely recognized as the seafood heart of Cyprus. Every morning, local fishermen unload their fresh catches of sea bream, octopus, red mullet, and calamari directly onto the quayside.
A leisurely stroll around the marina followed by an authentic fish meze feast by the water is a cherished Cypriot weekend tradition.
Midway between Larnaca and Limassol off the A1 motorway, follow signs to Zygi village.
