Octo Microbrewery / Octopus Brewery

In Sotira, between Paralimni and the Famagusta beaches, Octo brews with one foot in archaeology: its Cyprus Bronze Age Ale with figs and herbs resurrects the beers the island fermented millennia ago, while the Cyprus Grape Ale marries malt with the country's grapes. The rest of the repertoire dares everything Cyprus offers — watermelon, prickly pear, coffee, even tomato — in bold brews that have become the house signature. A small beer museum and guided tours complete the experience, minutes from Ayia Napa. Under the same roof, sister brand Prime widens the range of the most singular producer in the island's east.
