What was once a small fishing village in the south-eastern corner of Cyprus is now a hotspot for holidaymakers looking for a vibrant break. Ayia Napa also boasts a string of superb golden sandy beaches, the kind you dream of with endless sun-kissed golden sands, crystal-clear waters and the occasional watering hole. Vestiges of its cultural heritage await your discovery; there is a Venetian decorated monastery fronted by a 600-year-old sycamore tree and a quaint harbour fi lled with colourful fi shing vessels. Some excellent properties that are popular with families and couples offer a good quality beach holiday with a number of activities both during the day and night for all the family.

The main square and the surrounding pedestrianised areas are scattered with countless bars, discos and restaurants that come alive when the young and the young at heart flock in to enjoy the atmosphere and dance the night away, whilst families can enjoy the thrills and spills of the island’s famous Waterworld water park.

Alternatively visit the 16th century walled monastery or the quaint little fi shing harbour where tempting seaside tavernas serve traditional meze and freshly caught fish. Certainly not just for the young and lively, Ayia Napa offers good weather, great entertainment and an all-round fantastic holiday.

Transfer time from Larnaca airport to Ayia Napa: approximately 70 minutes.
