Ayia Napa was
once a sleepy fishing village, not that you
would believe it now.
It is full of life with an abundance of bars,
restaurants, clubs, night clubs and clubbers.
This resort is more for the younger generation,
if it's a quiet relaxing holiday you're after
then it would be advisable to stay clear of Ayia
Napa. Roughly about one third of all tourists
who visit Cyprus, go to Ayia Napa mainly for the
clubbing and nightlife it has to offer visitors
to Cyprus.
In this area of the Island of Cyprus, it has
some of the best beaches on offer in Cyprus;
Nissi beach in particular is one of the best
beaches, with golden sands and clear blue water.
This in mind in the height of the season it gets
very crowded, and is very easy to loose little
ones who have a tendency to wonder off. Like
most beaches in Cyprus there is a great variety
of water sports on offer.
The small harbour of Ayia Napa, which is still
there, is the perfect place to sit with a nice
cool drink, and do a bit of people watching as
is Ayia Napa Square.
In the centre of the town you will find plenty
of places to eat and drink, also lots of shops
for everything from food, clothes and souvenirs.
In the middle of the town square there is a 16th
century medieval monastery and you will also
find a Marine Life Museum, the first one in
Cyprus. And again, many of Ayia Napa's many
restaurants bars, and clubs. On a summer evening
the square is mad and packed as many revellers
set out on their clubbing evenings and nights.
There is also a new water park in Ayia Napa, the
biggest of its kind in Europe. The water park
has a theme based on 'Ancient Greece' you can
find yourself floating down 'Odyssee River', or
taking a nice relaxing soak in 'Aphrodite's
Bath'. Or if it's thrill seeking your after,
then there is plenty of fast slides and water
rides. If you have little children, or even big
ones there is a special pool dedicated just for
them. A great day out, it makes a change from a
day on the beach, as many are usually spent in
Cyprus..
As the day comes to an end and the sun is
starting to set, this is when things really
start to get going. All the young clubbers head
of back to there apartments, to get their party
clothes on, ready to party the night away at
Ayia Napa's range of bars and clubs. The nights
are very noisy with lots of bars playing a range
of reggae, house and dance music, which goes on
until past the early hours of the morning. The
perfect place if you're a party animal, or just
want to enjoy yourself.
