A visit to Cyprus is incomplete if you don’t spend a few days in its lively resort city of Ayia Napa. This charming destination will draw you in with its vibrant atmosphere, but you’ll stick around for its beautiful, sun-kissed beaches – and these three are definitely worth exploring.

Makronissos Beach

Whether you’re seeking relaxation or excitement, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Makronissos Beach. Like most beaches in Ayia Napa, Makronissos will win you over with its golden sands and turquoise waters, but you’ll also be impressed by its lively atmosphere and the abundance of water sports you can enjoy during your visit.

Nissi Beach

One of Ayia Napa’s most popular spots, Nissi Beach is equally popular with locals and tourists alike – and that’s not a coincidence. It’s best known for a small islet located just off its coast, accessible by a narrow sandbar because its crystal-clear waters are so shallow that you can easily just walk there.

Konnos Beach

If you’re in the mood for a day trip a short ride away from Ayia Napa, the Cape Greco National Park is the place to be. Konnos Beach is one of its most popular attractions and it offers a more relaxing and secluded atmosphere in comparison to the previous two beaches.
