Ayia Napa holidays

Lazy days

Every beach is totally spotless. Head to Nissi Bay for a super stretch of soft white sand, where you can hop onto a banana boat or try out jet-skiing. You’ll also find the odd quieter patch of pine-fringed beach.

Ruins and forests

Get to grips with Ayia Napa’s past on a visit to the restored 14th-century monastery. Or pack a picnic and spend a day at Cape Greco, a beautiful nature reserve of rare flowers and birds on untouched headland to the south. Don’t forget your camera!

Nights to delight

There’s plenty going on in this sought-after Cypriot resort, especially when the sun goes down. Head to the harbour where fab fresh fish restaurants dish up their daily catch, then relax in one of the cool cocktail bars or hit the clubs to dance. Families can have their fill of quizzes, karaoke and fairgrounds in the main square.
