Your Ayia Napa holiday will see you towards the east of the island, and in one of Cyprus' most popular resorts for younger holidaymakers.
The resort is internationally known for its vibrant nightlife. Clubs, pubs and bars are in healthy abundance throughout the town centre, many staying open until the early hours.
Of course, to make the most of Ayia Napa's nightlife, one should plan an afternoon nap in order feel refreshed and re-energized, and what better place to do so than one of the resort's six Blue Flag awarded beaches. The most convenient (and most popular) of these is Nissi Beach, its location being the most central, but those looking for somewhere quieter will enjoy Liminaki Beach, also a great place for children to play.
Whilst family groups may feel slightly disaffected in such a lively resort, those looking for guaranteed sun by day and fun come nightfall will love an Ayia Napa holiday.
