Cyprus is a great place to head for your holiday, doesn’t matter if you’re interested in sunbathing, beautiful beaches, learning to scuba dive, exploring the Xenobia shipwreck off the coast of Larnaca, or stay up all night in Ayia Napa – there is something for everyone. In Corfu, another Greek island, you can fill your days with waterparks (including the great Aqualand park) and visiting traditional villages such as Paleokastritsa, or exploring breathtaking beaches including the stunning Mirtiotissa Beach. If you’re considering Ayia Napa for your trip, you’ll need somewhere to crash at the end of the night so make sure to book into one of the
hotels in Ayia Napa .
On the island of Cyprus, in the evening, why not head out to Ayia Napa to sample the nightlife. The Castle Club has three floors with different music, so it’s a good choice to cater to people with different tastes and stays open until 4:30am. Other places worth mentioning include River Reggae or Club Aqua. If you’re not just after nightlife, there are lovely scuba diving opportunities in Ayia Napa and numerous boat trips you can take.
For a day of family fun, consider visiting Aqualand, which is a fantastic waterpark in Corfu. If you just want to go swimming or sunbathe while the kids are off on the rides, there is plenty of space for you to do so. Alternatively, there are long slides, covered flumes, fast rides, bumpy rides, slow and relaxing floating pools and even a fun kids section. Paleokastritsa is a famous beauty spot in Greece as it’s considered one of the most beautiful villages in Corfu. It boasts exceptional scenery and has many superb beaches, including secluded sandy and pebble ones enclosed by tall cliffs, wooded headlands, olive groves, orange, lemon and cypress trees and lush hilly countryside. Be sure to book one of the lovely
Corfu hotels before you go away.
In Cyprus, head out to some villages for shopping and to experience their cultures – Lafkara is famous for lace, Omodhos is a traditional village restored to attract visitors, Kakopetria is steeped in tradition in the Solea valley, and Neo Chorio is an old traditional village near Latchi with excellent food and old customs. If you’re a diver, you can’t miss out on the Xenobia shipwreck in Cyprus just outside Larnaca harbour. The Xenobia ship sunk fairly close to land, so it’s at an exceptionally accessible depth for recreational diving. The ship measures at 174 metres in length, and 28 metres wide and you can reach the top of the ship by going under only about 17 metres, making it ideal for beginners to dive here. Around and inside the wreck you can see a variety of different species of fish from giant groupers, to giant passing tuna fish, local barracuda, kingfish, jacks, trigger fish, moray-eels, stingrays, turtles and many others. Don’t forget to book into one of the excellent
Cyprus hotels before you go away.
