Cypriots are envied for lots of things, but mostly because of their amazing country: having limpid turquoise waters right under their feet, enjoying a summer spanning almost six months and being surrounded by a magnificent natural environment, Cypriots are scarcely exaggerating when they refer to their homeland as a heaven on earth.

Ideally located and easily accessible, Cyprus is basically an array of consecutive dreamy beaches of diverse character but equal charm.

Wish to know beforehand some of the greatest beaches to visit in Cyprus? Check our top ten list below!

 

  1. Konnos Bay, Ayia Napa

A vivid splash of green alongside the road gives its place to white powdery sand, which in turn transitions gradually to a deep emerald colour, yet transparent enough to see the seabed. No, it’s not a famous painting. It’s a beach. Konnos Bay Beach in Ayia Napa. Aren’t you there yet?

 

  1. Aphrodite’s Beach, Paphos

Of course, we could not help but mention the famous beach where Goddess Aphrodite rose from the water. The shore in this beach is pebbled, and the waters are often a little turbulent, but there is no better place to be if you are vacationing with your spouse. Some of the most breathtaking sunsets can be witnessed here.

 

  1. Porto Pomos, Pomos

For those who don’t like to swim in packed with people beaches, Porto Pomos is the “go to” destination. Located on the wild west coast of the island, with just a few small huts offering refreshments, Porto Pomos offers privacy, crystal clear waters and unspoilt natural scenery.

 

  1. Lara Bay, Akamas Peninsula

This hidden gem can be found deep in the nature reserve of Akamas Peninsula. If you are an adventurous type, then you simply have to see this one from up close. Hire out a 4x4 and start your quest of finding the impressive Lara Bay. The rare loggerhead turtle has already found it!

 

  1. Paramali Beach, Limassol

Paramali Beach is a beach with strong winds, which make it an ideal choice for kitesurfing. So, if you’re picturing yourself hitting the waves instead of reading a book on the beach, then hit the Paramali Beach in Limassol!

 

  1. Serena Bay, Protaras

A family-friendly beach could not be missing from our list. And this is Coral Bay in Paphos. It’s a long sandy beach with shallow waters, ideal for the kids. Have in mind though that it gets really packed in mid-summer months.

Do you love diving directly into the deep blue sea from rocky formations? White Rocks await you in Limassol. Here you can enjoy privacy, peace of mind, and fresh fish dishes at the nearby restaurants.
