Shisha Palace Gima Cafe is a cozy, well-loved spot on Archiepiskopou Makariou III in Larnaca, praised by visitors as one of the best places in town to relax over a waterpipe. Run by a friendly, welcoming young team, it pairs hot and cold drinks with a laid-back atmosphere and quiet music that regulars describe as reminiscent of the Middle East. Guests highlight the exceptional value, with shisha at around 8 euros making it noticeably cheaper than the beachside venues, and the service earns consistent praise for being clean, attentive and warm.

The setting is intimate and unpretentious, a genuine hidden gem that draws a mixed, international crowd. Open from early morning until midnight most days, it suits everything from a casual daytime coffee to a relaxed late-night hangout with friends. Located near the main road slightly away from the tourist strip, it rewards those who seek it out with reasonable prices and a wonderful, community feel. With a stellar Google rating from over one hundred reviewers, it is a firm local favourite.
