Paphos Sunset Cruise: Dinner, Open Bar & Fireworks Night

Summary

Sunset cruise in Paphos with dinner, music, dancing and fireworks

You’ll board a coastal cruiser in Paphos for an easygoing evening: sunset views over Riccos Bay, buffet dinner cooked onboard, unlimited local drinks from the open bar, live music and dancing with locals cheering you on, plus fireworks lighting up the water before you head back to shore feeling lighter than when you arrived.

What’s the experience like?

We stepped onto the boat just as the sky started turning that weird in-between color — not quite orange, not quite pink — and honestly, I was already glad we’d booked this Paphos sunset cruise. There was a salty breeze off the water and a bit of chatter from families finding their tables. Our guide (I think her name was Eleni?) waved us over and pointed out where we could grab our first drink. The open bar thing is real — I tried something local and sweet that tasted like summer holidays.

The buffet came out steaming, all these trays lined up with grilled chicken, some kind of rice with herbs (I never did catch what was in it), and bread that was still warm. People were already laughing by then — there’s always that one guy who goes back for seconds before anyone else. The live singers started up after dinner; they sang in Greek and English, which made everyone join in at least once. I’m not much of a dancer but somehow ended up on my feet anyway. Eleni cheered me on — or maybe she was just laughing at my moves.

I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed watching the coastline drift by under the city lights. At some point someone handed me a plate of watermelon, cold and sweet against the warm air. Then suddenly — fireworks. Not the biggest display I’ve ever seen but something about seeing them from the deck made it feel different. There were kids pressed against the rails and couples holding hands, everyone quiet for a minute. I still think about that view sometimes when I hear boats at night.
