Beaches And Resorts
The coastline of Cyprus has golden sandy beaches, blue water and a laid back atmosphere. In the south and east you find Ayia Napa, Protaras and Fig Tree Bay with sandy beaches and azure waters, ideal for swimming and fun with friends. Paphos, Coral Bay and Peyia on the west are terrific for sea view scenery, taverna food and scenic breaks with relaxation on the coast. Larnaca and Limassol are larger resorts with shops, bars and an excellent choice of hotels for a wide variety of tastes.
Family Holidays and Nightlife
Cyprus holidays are ideal for families as beaches, water sports and hotel pool time are good for kids and family groups. Resorts like Protaras and Coral Bay have a friendly atmosphere, plenty of space and family hotels closer to the beach. Ayia Napa is famous for nightlife, clubs and bars with DJs and parties until late evenings, and resorts in the region are laid back for travellers who prefer a relaxing atmosphere. Groups of friends can have an enjoyable time with clubbing, lively bars and electric nightlife, while couples may prefer taverna meals or a hotel in a tranquil resort.
History, Mountains and Interior
Cyprus is steeped in history and mythology and is called the birthplace of Aphrodite. In Paphos you can see Roman sites and the harbour, while towns throughout the island have Greek and Turkish heritage. The Troodos mountains and Akamas peninsula have forest, walking for walkers and traditional village life with taverna food and local wine. Walkers and active holidaymakers can find fresher temperatures in the mountains in summer and spring, while resorts on the coast remain hot for swimming and fun in the water.
