The Mediterranean tale begins with the third largest island of the sea - an unforgettable Cyprus. This is one of the most favorite destinations for beach tourism, not only for our compatriots, but for the rest of Europe. But how to choose a suitable resort, because there are a lot of places for rest on the 800-kilometer long coastline? So, we will tell about which resort in Cyprus is better. Well, you decide where to book a tour.
Greek Cyprus - resorts
Politically, the island is divided into two states - North Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus in the southern part. Southern Cyprus, by the way, is also called the Greek because of the prevalence among the population of representatives of this nation. And it is here, by the way, is concentrated most of the resorts.
If you intend to spend a holiday fun and bright, the Ayia Napa resort in Cyprus is undoubtedly your choice. From a once small fishing village grew up a city with excellent infrastructure, famous for the variety of night bars and discos. Particularly worth mentioning about the cleanest beaches, covered with snow-white sand. The descent of the water is gentle, and therefore Ayia Napa is suitable not only for fans of active nightlife, but also for family holidays.
A holiday of high quality is waiting for you at the resort with a talking name - Paphos . According to legend, it was here that the goddess Aphrodite came ashore from the foaming sea water. The part of the city adjacent to the magnificent beach line of cozy coves is a conglomerate of hotel complexes, hotels and attractions, mixed with magnificent restaurants and taverns. Pafos is focused exclusively on people who are wealthy, who value a quiet and first-class holiday. Unfortunately, tourists with children here are unlikely to be comfortable.
But to plan a family holiday in the resort of Cyprus Protaras - it means getting to the point! A small and peaceful town, stretched along picturesque coves and surrounded by fig groves, is famous for its cleanest beach with calm water.
A lot of married couples with children can be found in a cozy but not quiet Limassol , which can be attributed to the best resorts in Cyprus. Here for young tourists an amusement park with a zoo, a Luna Park and three water parks are prepared. You will also like active youth here. The benefit of discotheques and night bars dotted the entire coast, related to the resort.
To have a rest is inexpensive and not bad it is possible in a small, but ancient small town of Larnaka . The resort is excellent for families with children, because the descent is shallow and gentle, and quiet and unpretentious. But here it is necessary to like the divers - not far from the coast, at a relatively shallow depth, sunken ferry boat "Zanobiya".
Turkish Cyprus - resorts
The northern part of the island is occupied by the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Tourism here is developed to a lesser degree, which, most likely, is the result of partial recognition. Nevertheless, holidaymakers, wishing to taste the local Turkish-Greek flavor, are still here.
Famagusta with an ancient history in Greek is called Amohostos . At the resort there are no more than a dozen hotels. Undoubted advantage of recreation here can be called the small number of tourists. But the sights are huge: here and there there are buildings of the Renaissance, Venetian streets, fortification walls, the Gothic church of Peter and Paul, the monastery of Ganchvor and many others.
Among the resorts of Northern Cyprus, relatively popular is Kyrenia , located at the foot of the eponymous mountains. A quiet laziness of rest on the cleanest beaches, together with the sightseeing of famous sights, attracts a lot of tourists.
