When you conjure up an image in your mind of the perfect holiday destination, what do you see? Golden sandy beaches? Crystal clear blue sea? Of course there’ll be some sunshine too! That picture you are seeing in your mind, can become a reality with a visit to Cyprus. Cyprus is a beautiful island with unspoilt beaches and so much to see and do. The most popular areas with holiday makers, both tourists and Cypriots themselves, are Ayia Napa and Protaras.
There are some things you really must do on a holiday to Ayia Napa and Protaras and here is our pick of five things to do that will truly make your holiday experience memorable…
Visit one of the beautiful beaches
When it comes to stunning beaches, you’re really spoilt for choice, and access to all the beaches throughout Cyprus is free. While all the beaches are gorgeous, there are a couple we can particularly recommend. Check out Fig Tree Bay in the resort of Protaras. This beach has been awarded blue flag designation, so you can rest assured it’s clean and safe. You can swim across the shallow waters to the small islet nearby. Well sheltered from the wind, Fig Tree Bay is an oasis of calm that’s very popular with families.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something more lively, Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa might be just what you’re looking for. This is another blue flag beach and there’s always something going on throughout the summer. From foam parties to guest DJs, it’s a hive of activity and entertainment.
Try out some water sports
If you enjoy water sports, you’re going to love Ayia Napa and Protaras where you’ll find a wide range of sporting activities on offer. From water skiing and windsurfing to parasailing, you’re never far away from a water sports centre. Why not give something new a try?
Take a boat trip
You can book a boat trip that takes an hour or two, or have a full day excursion. It’s a fun and interesting way to spend some time. Relax on board, or make the most of the swim stops to enjoy the crystal clear waters. There are so many types of boat trips available, there’s something to suit everyone. From a romantic sunset cruise, to a family fun adventure.
Take a sightseeing bus tour
Cyprus is packed full of history and culture and what better way to see them and learn more than on a sightseeing bus tour? You’ll visit all the sights and your talented tour guide will give you a highly informative commentary about everything you’re seeing on your trip.
Visit a waterpark
If you’re travelling with children, then a visit to a waterpark such as the award winning WaterWorld in Ayia Napa is a must. Whether you want to gently float along the River Odyssey, or you prefer the high adrenaline rush of the Kamikaze slides or the Drop to Atlantis, you’ll have the perfect day. With sun loungers available, a restaurant and ice cream parlour, you really can spend all day here.
