Why visit Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa pairs Blue Flag beaches — Nissi Beach chief among them — with the island's most concentrated nightlife and the upscale Ayia Napa Marina. By day it is family beaches, water sports and boat trips to the sea caves; by night it is one of the Mediterranean's best-known club scenes.
It sits on the south-east coast near Protaras and Paralimni, about 45 minutes from Larnaca Airport (LCA), making it an easy fly-and-flop base with a full events calendar layered on top.
