Where to eat around Long Beach
Unlike Kyrenia or Famagusta, Iskele doesn't have a historic restaurant hub. Instead, dining is driven by the new developments. The most popular spots sit right on the beach path, offering everything from morning coffee and breakfast to late-night cocktails and dinner. If you want traditional Cypriot meze, you are better off taking the short 15-minute drive south into Famagusta's walled city. But for modern, comfortable, international food, Long Beach has plenty of options. Tap any linked name below to open its card and see details.
