nissi beach

Cyprus may be a long plane ride for some Europeans, but it has some of the best Mediterranean beaches. Nissi Beach is the jewel in the crown, with dazzling turquoise water which is calm and shallow - perfect for family holidays. Nissi gets overcrowded in the summer, but with Cyprus enjoying amazing spring and autumn weather there is no need to fight for space. However, you may have to share your spot with the huge pelicans which like to prowl around.

Nissi Beach is located two kilometres west of Agia Napa and attracts thousands of tourists every year.  This 600 metres long 40 metres wide beach is covered with fine golden sand. It is well sheltered from the wind and has calm waters. Water sports, sun bed and umbrella hire are available on site. There are accommodation facilities, restaurants, convenience stores and a diving school nearby. Lifeguards are on duty with lifesaving equipment from 10:00 to 18:00 hours during the bathing season. The beach is easily accessible by car, motorbike and bicycle, and on foot.
