Ayia Napa Things to do

The beaches at Ayia Napa are the main attraction, with long stretches of sand offering a relaxed base by day for sun-worshippers. There is a choice of Blue Flag beaches to visit, including Nissi, Makronissos and Limnara, with the coast generally featuring golden sands that shelve gently into safe calm waters, ideal for swimming and water sports, and with many convenient facilities. For those in search of peace and quiet, there are also a host of hidden coves along the bay to discover. 

 

Those requiring a change of pace on the beach can try some of the extensive water sports on offer - from jet-skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing, wakeboarding, sailing, parasailing and kayaking, to scuba-diving, snorkelling and undersea walking. Boat rides and big game fishing trips also run up and down the coast.

 

Hotels and apartments in Ayia Napa offer plenty to keep active guests busy, with a range of facilities including swimming, tennis, golf, mini-golf, shooting, snooker, bowling, mountain biking, horse riding, quad biking, go-karting and even bungee-jumping. 

 

An alternative to the beach, the local water park provides all-day entertainment, with the 'Ancient Greece' themed centre the biggest in Europe. Spend a day cooling off in the water, and visiting the many different activity pools, slides, whirlpools and flumes - a great family-friendly attraction for all ages.

 

Famed for its vibrant nightlife scene, Ayia Napa lives up to its reputation as a party resort, with a huge amount of choice for young-at-heart visitors.
