Nightclubs attract top international DJ's to a seemingly endless choice of venues. But there is much more to holidays in Ayia Napa than bars, discos and busy nightclubs.

The soft golden sand of Ayia Napa's main beach, known as Grecian Bay, is washed by warm turquoise water and there are plenty of water sports available if you prefer to keep busy rather than simply stretch out on the sand. In addition to the beach at Ayia Napa there are numerous other beaches to choose from along the coast including some nice secluded coves.

The attractive old quarter of Ayia Napa Town features narrow cobbled streets and little shops where you can pick up a few souvenirs such as traditional leather goods, pottery or lace. Much like the bar scene, Ayia Napa holidays give you plenty of restaurants to choose from, serving all kinds of tasty dishes. In addition to the Greek cuisine you will find a whole host of international food on offer.

Although Ayia Napa holidays have a reputation for attracting younger crowds, there is plenty of choice for everyone. Couples and families can also enjoy quieter areas of Ayia Napa such as Nissi beach and there are all kinds of things to keep everyone entertained including a golf driving range, bowling, Karting, mini-golf and a water park.

Did you know? Rumour has it that in the waters just off the coast of Ayia Napa lurks a sea monster which resembles a cross between a porpoise and a dragon! Keep those cameras ready!!
