Let's talk a little about the best beaches in the resort, where you can swim for both adults and the most suitable for a child. The beaches in Cyprus and Ayia Napa are sandy with an admixture of small shell rock, clean and well-groomed. The vegetation on the peninsula is not abundant, there are few outlandish plants. It is rather difficult to choose the best of the beaches, because each one is good in its own way, and there is one for every taste.
- The most popular beaches of the resort are Macronissos, Landa Beach, Nissi Beach, Ayia Thekla, Harbor beach and others.
Hotels on the island start at the 2-star level, which can be firmly compared to the 3-star hotels in Turkey and Egypt. The best all-inclusive hotels in Ayia Napa are located on the first line of the beach area, in the low season you can relax here in style by buying a tour with a good discount. In principle, many tourists from Russia do just that, since the low season makes it possible to enjoy swimming and sightseeing no worse than in the midst of vacations.
- One of the best resorts in Cyprus with an all-inclusive hotel on the first line is Nissi Beach Resortlocated on the beach of the same name. This is a lovely family run hotel with an excellent value for money. Accommodation for two will come out about 16,000 per day.
- Slightly less expensive hotel Bella Napa Bay Hotel always glad to guests. The hotel has a 3-star level, a cozy family option.
- And for gourmets, we recommend a good and cozy option for a trip to Cyprus with the whole family - Alion Beach Hotel, an excellent 5 star hotel on Gresian Bay 30 minutes from the airport. A double room with breakfast will cost about 17,000 rubles.
- You may need promotions and discounts for excellent hotels in the resort:
How to get to the resort yourself?
- If you do not want to buy a tour through a tour operator, then you can book a place at the hotel yourself, for example, through the Rumguru smartphone application, in this case, all issues related to arrival at the holiday destination will need to be resolved independently.
- When booking plane tickets, you need to understand that there is no airport in Ayia Napa itself, you can choose a flight to Paphos or (this option is more convenient) fly to Larnaca airport, the flight time will take about 4 hours. The cost of plane tickets from Moscow to Paphos or Larnaca will range from 5,000 to 14,000 per person.
How to get to Ayia Napa from the airport?
The easiest, fastest and most convenient option is, of course, a taxi. From personal experience, the most profitable travel option, especially after a long flight with tired children and large luggage. If you go from Paphos airport, then the road to the place will take twice as long as when departing from Larnaca airport, which will naturally affect the cost of moving. From Paphos Taxi will cost about 160 euros, and from Larnaca - about 50 euros.
Taxi is not the only possible way to get from the airport to Ayia Napa, you can choose a slightly less expensive way to get from the airport - group transfer... It can be ordered in advance before arrival, then you will be met, put on a cozy small bus with things and delivered to the desired address. The only difference from taxis will be the lower cost and the proximity of other tourists. Moving from Larnaca in this case will cost only 16 euros for one adult (over 12 years old) with luggage.
Bus Is another way to get to the hotel from the airport. If you have chosen a bus as a means of transportation, then be prepared that you will have to handle the luggage yourself, the drivers do not deal with such moments. Traveling by bus is less comfortable, with a change, however, and the cost of a trip from Larnaca airport will cost only 5.5 euros.
Finally, perhaps the most convenient option is car rent for the time that you define for yourself. You can also rent a car in advance via the Internet using Economybokings, or upon arrival on the spot. Do not forget that traffic on the peninsula is left-hand.

When is the best time to relax in Ayia Napa?
Cyprus is a sunny island with the sun shining here for over 300 days. However, such a strong heat, as, for example, in Egypt, does not happen here. The climate is mild and comfortable; in the summer months the average temperature is about 32 degrees. Naturally, this period is the most favorable for a beach holiday. It is during this period that the flow of tourists is maximum.
In late autumn and early spring it is sunny and moderately cool, the air temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. Of course, in such weather it is impossible to swim in the sea, but for excursions around the island this is the best period, since the flow of tourists is minimal, the prices for accommodation are lower. Therefore, if you are not very fond of water and heat, but respect culture and antiquity, then in winter Cyprus is always glad to see you.
January is the most gloomy, gray and gloomy month. During this period, there are practically no tourists on the island, they begin to prepare for their arrival in February, and in March the first arrivals are already met.
Summing up, we can safely say that the best time to visit Cyprus is late spring, summer and beginning of autumn... Welcome to the sunny island!
