Yiasemi is a well-loved Greek and Cypriot restaurant set on Nissi Avenue in the heart of Ayia Napa's tourist strip. With a 4.8 rating from over 1,200 diners, it has become a go-to choice for holidaymakers and families looking for authentic, generous cooking at a fair price. The menu leans into Greek classics and grilled dishes, with guests praising the chicken gyros, spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread and a shared fish platter that comfortably feeds a group.

Several value-focused set menus pair a starter, main and dessert, and portions are famously filling, so leftovers are common. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, and the interior is described by visitors as cosy and welcoming. The friendly, attentive team, led by Stavros, is regularly mentioned for warm service, and diners have been surprised with complimentary desserts.

Open daily from noon until late, Yiasemi suits casual meals, groups and family gatherings. Non-alcoholic cocktails round out the drinks list, making it an easy, crowd-pleasing spot for a relaxed evening in Napa.
