Club Career

AEP Paphos

After progressing through the youth teams at his hometown club, Makris played a full season for the "B" team in 2011–12 and scored 21 goals. This earned him a place in the first team for the 2012–13 season at the age of just 16.

Makris made his professional debut as a 54th-minute substitute in a 4–2 away defeat to Omonia Nicosia on 24 November 2012, just three days before his 17th birthday.

He scored his first goal for AEP Paphos, a 90th-minute consolation, in a 3–1 defeat against Olympiakos Nicosia on 9 December 2012. In his first full season in the First Division Makris played 14 games and scored 2 goals.

Anorthosis Famagusta

Makris moved to Anorthosis for the 2013-14 season.

Makris made his debut for Anorthosis as a substitute in a 3–0 away victory over Nea Salamis on 30 November 2013. He scored his first goal for his new club against Alki Larnaca on 11 January 2014.

His impressive form attracted the interest of Real Madrid C, but no agreement was reached because the player could not leave the country because of the need to complete his national military service. By the end of the 2013–14 season, coaches in the Cypriot First Division had voted Makris as the best youth player in the league and he had attracted interest from European giants Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Everton.

Makris continued his impressive form into the 2014–15 season, starting regularly for Anorthosis and contributing more goals and assists. After scoring two goals against Doxa Katokopias on 22 November 2014, he signed a new long-term contract with the club, stating "I'll give it all for Anorthosis." He won the Player of the Month award for January and was voted into the Team of the Season for 2014–15, as one of the best three forwards in the league.
