Restaurants around Ayia Napa main square use English-language menus with prices omitted or with selected items priced differently from the actual bill. Bills frequently include mandatory service charges of 10-15 percent not displayed on the menu, compulsory bread covers of 2-4 EUR per person, and additional charges for condiments or dips placed on the table without being ordered.
