Partygoer’s playground – Ayia Napa

Get ready to unleash your inner party animal in Ayia Napa! From beach raves to epic clubbing scenes, Ayia Napa is legendary for its nightlife. But make no mistake, it's not just about partying – you’ll find sea caves to explore, crystal-clear waters to swim in and sandy beaches to laze on. Need a slow-paced day? The town has some impressive sights too!

Postcard-perfect paradise – Protaras

If you're looking for Instagram-worthy beaches and a dash of cultural sights to enrich your time away, Protaras is your slice of paradise. Snorkelling, sunbathing and enjoying a seafood feast at a beachfront taverna are the names of the game here. Travelling with family? The little ones will love seeing the natural beauty of Cape Greco National Park. Protaras is also just a stone's throw away from Ayia Napa, so the town is conveniently close to the party scene, if that’s your thing. It’s contained to one area though, so you can easily avoid the bright lights or head straight for them – whatever floats your boat!

Beachy cultural hub – Larnaca

With its maze of historic sites, a bustling promenade and fantastic fish options come mealtime, central Larnaca caters to all types of travellers, from history buffs to beach bums. Nature enthusiast? The Larnaca Salt Lake, home to flamingos, is at the top of your to-see list. In need of some retail therapy? Off to Ledra Street you go. Want to laze by the waves and do some plane-spotting? McKenzie Beach is the place to be. And on top of all this, Larnaca also offers the ideal introduction to Cypriot history. What more could you ask for?

Romantic beach getaway – Nissi Bay

Nissi Bay is like a dreamy film set on the shores of Cyprus. This idyllic destination is where you’ll find most of the region’s beaches, so it’s no wonder it’s all pristine sands and calm, turquoise waters around here. It's also a renowned romantic haven for couples and honeymooners – stroll hand in hand along the sandy shores, take a dip in the sparkling, shallow waters or enjoy a picnic for two with a backdrop of palm trees and azure skies.
