A guide to holidays in Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa, on the South Coast of Cyprus, has long been considered a global clubbing hotspot, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year with its combination of wild beach parties, glamourous nightclubs, and scorching weather. It is considered to be the Mediterranean home away from home for many sectors of the UK club scene, such as house, garage, and grime. And with a wide range of hotels to choose from ranging from the super luxurious to the ultra affordable, Ayia Napa has something to offer clubbers of all tastes and budgets.

Ayia Napa has more to offer than just wild parties, however. It is also immensely popular with families and couples looking for a relaxing break in the sunshine. There are plenty of watersports on offer, such as scuba diving, sailing, and windsurfing. All the beaches in Ayia Napa are Blue Flag certified, which is European standard hallmark of cleanliness and top drawer facilities. The most popular beach, especially with young clubbers, is Nissi Beach, and this can be especially busy during peak tourist season. The longest beach in Ayia Napa is Harbour beach, also knon as Pantahou or Limanaki beach, which is much more relaxed and family oriented than the neighbouring Nissi Beach.

The food in Ayia Napa is an intoxicating blend of Mediterranean ingredients and Middle Eastern spices and cooking styles. The kebabs are simply scrumptious, and the salads are particularly delicious. Also, there are a lot of fresh fish dishes on offer, owing to the fact that Ayia Napa is a coastal region.

There is plenty to see and do on the island of Cyprus, which makes it well worth hiring a car to have a look around the various tourist attractions. The island has thousands of years of history behind it, and is said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love. The purported location of her birthplace, Aphrodites Rock, is a breathtaking geological formation and is among the most popular visitor attractions in Cyprus. There are a number of fascinating ruins, churches, buildings, and places of natural beauty to explore beyond the clubbing mecca of Ayia Napa if you have the time and the energy to do so.
