Ayia Napa
Once a small fishing village in the south-eastern corner of
Cyprus, Ayia Napa is now a hotspot for holidaymakers looking for a
lively vacation
-over 250,000 clubbers swarm into this party
capital each summer and the phenomenal atmosphere in its scores of
bars and nightclubs is nothing short of explosive.
Located in the centre of the market garden area of the island,
Ayia Napa also boasts a string of superb golden sandy beaches and
vestiges of its cultural heritage - there is a Venetian decorated
monastery fronted by a 600-year-old Sycamore tree, and a quaint
harbour filled with colourful fishing vessels. Just a few miles
from Ayia Napa, the resort of Protaras is more restrained and is
much more suited to family holidays. Both resorts have excellent
beaches, the most famous being Fig Tree Bay.
Other popular beaches include Nissi Beach and Nissi Bay, two
miles (3km) west of Ayia Napa; Cape Greco to the east, where the
challenge is to leap from the rocks into the sea; and Konnos Bay,
just past Cape Greco, where there is a beach café and speedboats
for hire.
