Hi All
I have been to Cyprus 3 times, each time to Ayia Napa. The first time would have been nearly 20 years ago, the last being 9 years ago. In that time as I'm sure regular visitors are well aware the area and atmosphere have changed greatly. Although the resort when I first went was certainly not quiet, it was reasonably lively but not rowdy. There were a few traditional little Cypriot restaurants dotted around the resort plus international restaurants, aswell as a few lively bars around the square. When I last went I decided it would probably be the last time as it didn't have the appeal it had years ago. Is there anywhere, now, in Cyprus similar to how Ayia Napa was before it attracted the 18-30 crowd? I am now a 'late' 30 something with 2 young children. I've considered Protaras in the past but think even this appears to have become too commercial from what I read. Any recommendations??
Thanks.
How about Penera, only a small resort but plenty of restaurants and bars and also close enough to walk to Protaras although the bus is frequent and its cheap enough in a taxi too. Its also easy enough to get to Ayia Napa if you fancied a day or evening there.
Takes about 20 mins walk along the road to get into Protaras in which we did on some nights, you can also walk along a path the coastal route. Pernera beach is a great hotel, and over looks the sea and is reasonable on price.It is also next to the dive school that my daughter did, if you are interested in that.
There is a small aqua park (if it is still there) around the corner from the pernera, plenty of very good bard and restaurants as well.
Thanks for the replies. Have heard of Pernera, will have a closer look. What's the beach like there...I do like a nice sandy beach. We are going to Menorca this year but have a yearning to go to Cyprus again one day-maybe next year funds permitting, just don't know which resort. Have been looking at private apartments on Owners Direct website and there seem to be a lot around the Kapparis area for reasonable prices?? Anymore thoughts would be welcome.
Another option could be Nissi Avenue,20mins walk from Napa,you have a choice of three sandy coves in this area.
