Bike in Cyprus

Ayia Napa (spelt locally as Agia Napa) used to be a small fishing village up until the 1980′s when it started to ballon into a holiday destination and eventually became party central of Cyprus.

Beaches

The main local beach is Nisi Beach found towards the western end of Ayia Napa along the beach road heading out of town. Golden sand, palm trees and azure blue water make this one of the nicest beaches in Cyprus. It gets very busy in peak season for this very reason. Lots to do on the beach including water sports. Sundays there’s a foam party at the western end of the beach: not for the squeamish!

Clubs

Ayia Napa has for several years been an alternative destination to Ibiza. The clubs are popular with young party goers who prefer Drum & Bass and Hip-Hop to House music (like Ibiza) although there is something here for everyone.

The Castle Club has 3 rooms with different types of music, a total of 14 bars and 9 resident DJs with guest DJs mainly from the UK. Music events are varied randing from Hip-Hop, House, Funky House etc. Check out their website for a night-by-night guide to whats on.

The Guru Bar is a chill-out place and features outside bars and lounges in the form of bedouin tents filled with comfy chairs. Ambient music permeates all night long. There is a definite North African feel about the place and the new chef offers some excellent international cuisine and It is located slightly off the main strip of clubs close to BedRock. Although this is a chill-out bar don’t get the impression that this is where you come to after you’ve been to the other clubs because it closes at 2am. A better idea is to start your evening here while you wait for your friends, have something to eat and build up to dancing the night away.
