Larnaca And The East Of Cyprus

By: Mark Bartley

Read More About Air Travel

East seems to be a common thread for Cyprus, for this island is situated at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, miles away from the Atlantic Ocean, where weather systems often reign over the conditions in places like Morocco, southern Spain and even the islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. But Cyprus is well protected from all of that and frequently when places like Mallorca and Menorca are experiencing wet or windy conditions, Cyprus could be hot and sunny. That may not be surprising when you think that Cyprus is more than 2000 miles from the Atlantic, but for anyone considering a holiday either side of the peak summer months that may well be the difference between a great break and a damp one.

In the south east corner of Cyprus, , an array of attractive resorts are within a short drive, starting, of course, with the various spots around the bay of Larnaca itself.

Further east and you'll next come across a waterway leading out to sea at Potamos and its small white sandy beach. The waterway here is home to all kinds of fishing boats, both old and new and there's not a whole lot of commercial development yet, although there are some small villa complexes on the eastern bank. The small beach at the tip of the headland is a real beauty and a great place to spend a relaxing day watching the world go by. A small bar caters for your refreshment needs and other than that there's not much to interrupt your peace and quiet.

Travel further along the ocast road, passing Waterworld, an exciting place for a day out if you have children and you'll eventually get to Makronissos Bay and the first hotels within reach of Ayia Napa, which is still 2 miles away. Hence the resort is quite quiet and great to relax in, as is the next and slightly larger bay at Nissi Beach. There's no doubt that this is a stunning place, with the warm, shallow waters of the bay here perfect for families with small children. This is often referred to as one of the most iydillic spots on Cyprus due to the wonderful sandy beach, frequent glorious sunsets and a wide choice of very high quality hotels has earned Nissi a great reputation already.

Further along the Ayia Napa strip and you'll stumble across a number of small sandy beaches, a useful footpath along the shoreline and other larger beaches like that at Callisto beach. There are plenty of great tourist hotels in this area, many even have their own beach frontage, making for a great beach-orientated holiday if that is what you are looking for.

A little further and you will reach the centre of Ayia Napa, with its marina and main beach stretching along the coast for half a mile. , but it's well served by beach umbrellas and sun loungers and there's no doubt it's a great place to lie in the sun, taking the occasional splash in the crystal clear blue waters to cool off. For a quieter beach resort then travel east again and try out Kermia Beach, a small resort with a nice sandy beach, fringed by palm trees. Again shallow waters make taking a dip in the sea very easy. Eventually you will reach Cape Greco at the south eastern tip of Cyprus. The area is subject to a natural preservation order, so there are no developments, but is a peaceful place for a day trip and has great views from the headland and high points. The colour of the sea here has to be seen to be believed.

Next you start to turn northwards and we get to the East of Cyprus resorts, this piece is all about. Here the choice of great holiday locations is almost endless. Resorts like Fig Tree Bay at Protaras, the bays around Pernera, and other smaller bays before you reach Famagusta. Protaras is a resort that seems to satisfy all kinds of holidaymakers, from couples looking for peace and quiet as well as families looking for safe areas for small children. Most locals speak english very well and the quality of bars and restaurants will not disappoint. The East of Cyprus may just be the ideal location to head to for your next summer holiday.
