Practical
Pickup, timing and rules
The practical side of the cabaret night near Ayia Napa: where the coach collects you, how long it takes, what to wear, video rules, children and access.
Find a cabaret night ↗Quick answer
Transport is included from hotels in the Famagusta district, which covers Ayia Napa and Protaras, and your confirmation gives the pickup time and place. Plan on about three hours from pickup to drop-off, with two hours of show. Video recording is not allowed. The show is billed for all ages and listed as wheelchair accessible, and the host speaks English.
Where the coach collects you
Pickup and drop-off are included from hotels in the Famagusta district. In practice that means the resort coast around Ayia Napa and Protaras, which sit close together on the island’s south-eastern corner. The coach calls at several hotels, so your pickup time depends on where you are on the route; your confirmation gives it, along with the meeting place. Be there a few minutes early and keep your phone on in case the driver needs to reach you.
If you are not in a hotel
Apartments and villas are common on this coast. If you are in one, ask through your booking which nearby hotel the coach can use as your pickup point, and walk there rather than waiting at an address a coach may not reach. If you are staying outside the Famagusta district, in Larnaca or elsewhere, check with the operator before paying whether you can join and where, since the included transport covers the district only.
How long the night takes
Allow about three hours from pickup to drop-off. That covers the drive, photos with the cast on arrival, a seated chicken dinner and about two hours of show. Do not plan anything tight afterwards: a coach that calls at several hotels on the way home runs to its own pace, and the end of a show is not the moment to watch the clock.
Clothes and what to carry
No dress code applies, and resort-evening clothes are fine. Many people treat the night as an excuse to dress up, and sequins will not look out of place. Bring a means of payment for spirits and cocktails, which are not included, and your confirmation on your phone.
Cameras, children and access
Video recording is not allowed during the show, but you can pose with the cast when you arrive and a cast photograph is part of the ticket. The show is billed for guests of all ages, though its comedy is cheeky and leans on innuendo, so think about younger children. It is marked as accessible for wheelchair users; say so when you book so the transport can be arranged, and check any specific needs through your booking.
Booking and changes
The booking calendar shows the nights with a show and the seating options open for each. Through GetYourGuide you can cancel for nothing until the day before and settle payment later, so holding a date early costs nothing. Keep your confirmation to hand on the day: it carries the pickup time and place, and the contact details to use if anything about the pickup is unclear.
Food and dietary needs
Dinner is a set chicken meal served at your table, with selected drinks. There is no menu to choose from on the night, so if you do not eat chicken, have an allergy or eat a restricted diet, raise it through your booking well before the evening and wait for a reply before you rely on an alternative. Spirits and cocktails are paid for separately at the table.
