A stunning resort situated on the south-east corner of Cyprus. It’s known for being a bit of a party hotspot, thanks to its nightclubs, karaoke bars and foam parties. But it’s also got a peaceful side, with cobbled streets, harbourside tavernas and a Medieval monastery.

Ayia Napa goes all out at night. If it’s cheap drinks, buzzing clubs with pumping music and foam parties you want, you’ll find it here. But there are also plenty of trendy – and quieter – beach bars for chilled-out cocktails by the sea. And it’s surprisingly well-suited to families, too, with a good line-up of live entertainment, stage shows and hypnotists.

If you’re looking for a beach holiday, Ayia Napa holidays have everything you need and more. The famed Nissi Beach is renowned for its smooth sands and shallow waters. Take the 15-minute drive down to Fig Tree Bay for a more secluded slice of the sunshine. Holidays in Ayia Napa boast all the beach activities you’d expect from such a top resort, and then some. If you can tear yourself away from the sun Ayia Napa offers exceptional scuba-diving and the wrecked Zenobia ferry nearby is one of the world’s top ten diving sites.

What are the beaches like in Ayia Napa?

Ayia Napa has 14 fantastic beaches that have all been given the Blue Flag status so you can be sure that the water and sand will be clean and beautiful. Most will have life guards as well and facilities such as sun loungers, snack bars and toilets.

Beaches are the central focus of Ayia Napa and Nissi Beach is a popular one due to its extremely shallow waters and long stretches of uninterrupted sand. This is the perfect beach for walking or floating on an inflatable, maybe hiring a pedalo or just enjoying the feel of the sand beneath your feet. One end of the beach hosts DJS and beach parties as the sun goes down so this is the place to head for entertainment in the evening. Harbour Bay Beach is the most well known as it is a perfect place for swimming with families, with water that is shallow enough to be safe but deep enough to swim. You will find snack bars and amenities all along this stretch of beach but expect crowds as well.

For complete seclusion from the tourist appeal, take the short journey over to Paphos for soaring summer temperatures and award winning beaches. Alternatively, you could explore more of Cyprus by heading to Larnaca, funnily enough, located on the other side of Larnaca Bay.

Things to do in Ayia Napa?

You could easily be forgiven for assuming Ayia Napa holidays are only suitable for students and young adults looking to drink the bars dry! However, the region which is home to Ayia Napa offers plenty of opportunities for daytrips away from the hustle and bustle. Head to the Cape Greco National Forest Park. The rocks and cliffs overlooking the ocean display unmatched natural beauty, with pathways of a similar ilk leading to the culmination of the rock. Pine and juniper trees lace the nature trails and cycling paths. If you’d like to admire the craggy landscape from the other side, boat trips are available, perfect for families and couples.

Depending on the time you visit, Cape Greco will offer a very different experience with its scenery changing to match the seasons. One thing that does not change though is the abundance of activities to get stuck into – from walking, hiking, and cycling to fishing, diving, or simply just admiring the sunrise – you will not be left short of action here.

For a slice of culture and history be sure to take a trip to the monastery, a 15th-century sandstone Venetian building hidden among the modern bars and clubs of Ayia Napa, it is well worth checking out during your visit.
