Cyprus's Best Beaches

Ayia Napa’s coastline features a series of Blue Flag-certified sandy beaches characterized by turquoise waters and white sands. Nissi Beach is known for its tidal sandbar connecting to a small islet, while Makronissos offers a quieter setting adjacent to Hellenistic and Roman rock-cut tombs. Vathia Gonia provides a sheltered bay with specialized accessibility infrastructure. These beaches, including Landa and Glyki Nero, are connected by a coastal pedestrian path that runs from the harbor toward the western edge of the resort.
