For the second consecutive year, Ayia Napa Marina becomes the backdrop for CraftXBeerience, Cyprus's most-loved craft beer festival. Returning on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 August 2026, the event runs from 17:00 until midnight on both days — a generous seven-hour window that eases visitors from the golden hour into a fully lit marina night.
Ten carefully selected beer vendors are confirmed for this edition, including Rabbit Hop, Eviva Brewing Prjkt, Hop Thirsty Friends, Pivo Microbrewery, Radical Way Brewing, Octo Microbrewery and more. The lineup spans the breadth of Cyprus's growing independent brewing scene, offering everything from hop-forward IPAs to more experimental small-batch releases. It is the kind of gathering where a single wristband-free wander between stalls can turn into an impromptu education in local craft culture.
Food vendors and live music complete the picture, ensuring that non-beer-drinkers and younger visitors are equally well catered for. The marina setting in Famagusta district adds a distinctly coastal character — salt air, moored yachts and the gentle lap of the Mediterranean just steps away.
With free entry across both evenings, CraftXBeerience asks nothing more than your presence and curiosity. Few summer events on the island combine this level of programme with such an accessible threshold.
