Ayia Napa:
Known over as a mecca for holidays of sun, sand and wild nights out, Ayia Napa is a diverse island with much more to offer in terms of culture and ancient architecture, as well as being one of Europe’s top party capitals.

Stunning beaches host sun-worshippers throughout the day on holidays to Ayia Napa, who can kick back on the golden sands and enjoy a cheeky cocktail in a beach side bar. By night the resort really comes alive with music, strobe lighting and general high spirits, as the clubs throw open their doors and keep the party going until the sun comes up.

There’s plenty for those in search of culture and history on Ayia Napa holidays, as the island holds much of Cyprus’ ancient monuments and ruins. Beaches, harbours and national parks will be sure to facilitate your relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle.

Ayia Napa’s resort status is not unfounded, as the town, its outskirts and its coastline host a wealth of indulgent and lavish 5-star hotels, as well as sleek and modern alternatives. The town centre offers a brilliant selection of smaller hotels and guesthouses, perfect for those looking to soak up all the fun on their holidays.

Apartments in the heart of the main strip allow easy access to the main attractions for those looking to take advantage of the nightlife on their holidays in Ayia Napa. An added bonus for those in search of liberation without a designated driver!

For complete seclusion from the tourist appeal, take the short journey to Paphos for its fantastic beaches. Alternatively head inland to the capital city Nicosia to immerse yourself in the performing arts and archaeological museums.

The options are endless when it comes to things to do during Ayia Napa holidays. If family fun floats your boat the island’s amazing attractions are sure to leave you in awe. Whether you enjoy snorkeling or napping by the bay, the family friendly Landa Beach will cater for all your needs. The contrast between the white sand and blue sea is as exotic as it gets. The quieter area is perfect for daytime picnics and romantic retreats, with nearby restaurants offering traditional cuisine in the evenings.

Of course, Ayia Napa’s main draw is its explosive and unstoppable nightlife. From the swanky cocktail bars that line the beautiful beach front, to the simmering energy of the central clubbing district, nights out are not to be taken in any half-measures on Ayia Napa. Head to either the main square or to Limassol or Larnaca to join a young crowd lapping up clubs and bars.

Commence your evening on the lively Makronissos beach for a party like no other. DJs and live acts grace the stage over summer adding some variation to the night’s entertainment. You may want to pace yourself however, as many of the main clubs stay open until the early hours. Head to the ever-popular Aqua Club, open from 3am till breakfast, or the Castle Club, the largest club in the whole of Cyprus. The strip caters for music lovers of all kinds, with exotic drinks and extravagant settings for a night to remember, hopefully!

Top Beaches.
Nissi Bay is situated 3km away from the town centre, but is worth the visit as it is secluded and very pretty. Ayia Thekla is the main beach and there are also several other beaches in the area for you to explore – you'll be spoilt for choice!
Ayia Thekla Beach is a popular beach in the area which is known for its white sandy beaches. The turquoise water and perfect weather is great for simply relaxing on and topping up your tan, or going for a swim in the cool waters.
