A two‑day food festival returns to Ayia Napa Marina on 16 and 17 May, offering cooking demonstrations, interactive sessions and live music by the sea with free entry for the public.

The Chef’s Kiss Food Festival will return to Ayia Napa Marina for a second consecutive year, following its successful debut, offering a two‑day celebration of gastronomy, creativity and seaside entertainment.

The festival will take place on Saturday, 16 May and Sunday, 17 May, from 12:00 noon until late, with free admission, transforming Ayia Napa Marina into a meeting point for food lovers of all ages.

Guided by the theme ‘Learn – Taste – Create’, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of culinary experiences across two stages. Well‑known local chefs will present live cooking demonstrations and share their expertise, while specialised workshops will explore different aspects of modern cooking and food culture.

At the same time, the festival’s food area will feature more than 30 food concepts, offering a broad selection of flavours. The programme also includes select private dining experiences for visitors looking for a more curated gastronomic option.

Interactive sessions will allow attendees to take part more actively, preparing their own dishes and participating in hands‑on culinary activities.

Food, music and the marina setting

Throughout the weekend, live DJ sets will provide a continuous soundtrack, creating a relaxed seaside atmosphere for visitors to enjoy drinks, socialise and take in the marina surroundings. Lounge areas and social spaces will be available, designed to accommodate families and groups of friends.

Organisers say the aim is to combine gastronomy with entertainment, creating a welcoming environment that brings together food, music and creativity by the sea.
