Ayia Napa, Cyprus
by Phivos Nicolaides
Ayia Napa, one of Cyprus' most popular beach resorts, well known over all of Europe, is located southeast of the island's coast. Ayia Napa's famous golden beaches are awesome with thin, fine sand, hidden among a chain of rocky boulders that form many small and cozy bays.
The original small fishing harbor was the main area of what was once a small fishing village. Around the harbor, several nice restaurants and tavernas offer special sea food. All boat trips start from here. Just outside of Ayia Napa, there is the site of the water park. There are also go-carts and helicopter rides.
Ayia Napa has become synonymous with clubbing on the island. In particular, it has become popular during the summer when crowded with tourists (British tourists are far more prevalent here, as elsewhere on Cyprus).

Aiya Napa attracts thousands of tourists world-wide on account of its fun-loving outlook by night and its sandy, Mediterranean beaches by day. Macronissos beach is a sandy beach with crystal waters.
Nissi beach is another beautiful, sandy beach.
At the beach of Grecian Bay, visitors among other activities can also enjoy an unforgettable experience of all kinds of water sports that are offered on an organized basis.

Beautiful nature is one of the biggest assets of Ayia Napa. You could combine your stay here with a bit of walking (n summer early morning or late in the afternoon) especially towards Cape Greko Park, the ragged coastline and the collection of coves and sea caves.

P.S. from Kim: OK, so we are all a little bit crazy if we don't get ourselves to Cyprus, sooner than later. And we are seriously going to have to play paper, rock, scissors to see who gets the amazing house to stay in. Finally, just for the record, I could not love the name Pericles more!!

As a cypriot my self, i can only thank you for the beautiful thoughts about my country! I discovered your blog through Phivos. He would probably be the most interesting cypriot you have ever met!
Elena,
As you can tell by the comment list, poor Phivos is going to someday have a gaggle of women visiting him from all over the world. Then we will share a bottle of wine with you and the stories can roll....Your country looks amazing. Not without its downside, I know, but these days little slices of heaven on Earth are getting harder to find!!
How stunningly beautiful Ayia Napa is! I have a list of places I hope to see and now I have yet another gem to add to that list.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures and commentary.
