Ammos

Larnaka


Right at the end of the Makenzy Beach promenade, Ammos (Greek for ‘sand’) is a splendidly bright, white venue that pumps out urban house and lazy funk until the wee hours. During the day it's good for coffee and lunch; in the evening it's all about cocktails under the cloud-free starry sky.
