The island of Cyprus attracts beach people from all over the worldopportunities to relax in the mild Mediterranean climate, swim in the azure sea and sunbathe plenty on the sand or warmed up small pebbles. Therefore, the tourist flow to this wonderful island grows from year to year. But where are the best beaches in Cyprus? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. It all depends on what value you put in the concept of "best beach".
Clearly, the sea must be clean. But almost all of the coast of the island is dotted with "blue flags" - signs that guarantee excellent water quality and recreational areas. In addition, there are no sea urchins and poisonous jellyfish in the water area, which cause such a lot of inconvenience to tourists in exotic countries. All the best beaches in Cyprus are municipal, and therefore, the entrance to them is free for everyone, even if the beach is a five-star hotel. At the same time on them on duty are rescuers, there are first-aid posts and a shower with fresh water.
This, so to speak, the basis. Next - a matter of taste. Some people like waves and a fresh wind for surfing, for someone - a smooth approach to the sea for splashing babies. Which is better: sand or pebbles - the topic of endless disputes among beachlords, but in Larnaca, both of the disputing camps will be satisfied. At this resort you can find both areas with golden gray sand, and plots with pebbles. Many travelers with young children believe that the best beaches of Cyprus are located in Larnaca, because here the bottom drops very smoothly. And in these places there are sites with black volcanic sand. By the way, tourists in this resort are relatively few, which allows us to call it a "romantic coast".
In Limassol, you can also find a lot of sandbeaches. But here at the entrance to the water there is a great depth, which, of course, is convenient for adults. True, the sand in the recreation zone is yellowish-gray in color. And what if you do not tolerate shingles in any form? Then the best sandy beaches of Cyprus for you are in Protaras and Ayia Napa. This is recognized by almost everyone. White, like alpine snow, soft as a feather, without stones, the local sand gives the sea water a bluish tinge. True, Ayia Napa is a favorite place for young people. The coast is crowded and noisy, and in the evenings life here beats the key - not quite a suitable place to rest with young children.
For lovers of pebbles, the best beaches in Cyprus includePathos. Even those who want to jump into the water from the rocks can find there suitable places for themselves. But there is sand in the village of Latchi, which is near the town. At least, divers respond about Paphos only in rapturous tones. And surfers choose Coral Bay in this region. Fans of all kinds of amusements will find for themselves many interesting things in the recreation zone of Geraskipu, which is four kilometers from the city. But those who are looking for solitude, we can advise the Gulf of Lara - there are few tourists, but you can observe how green turtles are grown.
What are the best beaches of Cyprus in the northern partThe island, which is currently considered a territory occupied by the Turks? And there are their pearls there. Famagusta surprises with its snow-white sand. But the resort of Kyrenia is suitable for everyone. The city itself has all the possibilities for diving. Five kilometers to the west, a beautiful sandy beach, protected from wind and waves, with a sloping approach to the sea - it's better not to find places for kids. The full beach service of the European level is in Karaoglanoglu.
