Resorts for all sorts

The east coast of Cyprus is best-known for its clubbing capital, Ayia Napa. But there’s plenty here for families and couples too, from beautiful beaches to archaeological sites and unspoiled countryside. Foodies will be in heaven with the delicious kebabs or traditional mezes made up of a selection of light bites.

A bevy of beaches

The beaches along this stretch of the coast are golden-sanded beauties, many of them boasting Blue Flag status. The seas are warm, clear and calm, making them super safe for swimming. Many of the beaches are lined with restaurants, so you won’t have to travel far to fill rumbling tums.

After-hours fun

If you’re looking for a party, you’ll find it in Ayia Napa’s buzzing main square. There are hundreds of bars and clubs laying on everything from karaoke nights to world-famous DJs. Families won’t go bored either – the live shows along the main strip cater for audiences of all ages.

Protaras

Searching for silky sand, emerald waters and postcard-perfect surrounds? Well Protaras has got it covered.

Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa is one big party – it’s got some of the best nightlife on the Med. Days, meanwhile, are all about recovering from the night before on one of Napa’s 14 Blue Flag beaches.

Nissi Bay

Within easy reach of thriving Ayia Napa, Nissi Bay’s a resort in its own right – with golden sands and twinkling blue waters to prove it!

Limassol – Larnaca

Limassol’s a big town that hugs the shore on Cyprus’ south coast. Its sweeping beaches, designer shopping and charming old quarter have visitors coming back time and again.

Larnaca Resort

If you enjoy uncovering the history of a bygone times, there’s nowhere better than Larnaca.

Beaches

Tenerife’s beaches are legendary, and when you set your eyes on the soft white sand, twinkling emerald waters and swaying palm trees, you’ll soon see why. You’ll find many thriving tourist spots with quaint, café-lined promenades and plenty of prime places to watch the sun go down.

Sights

A journey through pine forests takes you to the majestic Mount Teide and its epic National Park. You can get within 200m of the summit by cable car, so you’re in for panoramic views. Whale and dolphin watching is another must in Tenerife – you’re almost sure to see some.

Activities

Tigers, gorillas, meerkats and dolphins are just a few of the animals you’ll find at Loro Parque Zoo, but for thrills and spills, Tenerife’s got the mighty Siam Park Waterpark. Harbours and marinas are dotted all around, so scenic strolls are definitely on the agenda – not to mention cycling the coastal routes.

Eating and drinking

Wrinkly potatoes might not sound like the most appetising, taste bud-tickling dish, but when done the Canarian way, with skins on and lots of salt, they’re delicious. You’ve also got to take advantage of the fish and seafood – Dorada, a type of sea bream, is the speciality.
