Larnaca Area holidays

The bright lights of Ayia Napa are one of the main reasons people book holidays to the Larnaca region of Cyprus. But you've also got Blue Flag beaches and picturesque countryside to look forward to.

Party reputation

Cyprus’ east coast has a reputation for being something of an insomniac. Over the years, the lively town of Ayia Napa has really earned its nightlife stripes, thanks to a neon strip full of bars and nightclubs. But all-night partying is just one chapter in the Larnaca region’s story. This part of Cyprus has plenty for couples and families, as well.

Popular resorts

Family favourite, Nissi Beach, is about a mile up the road from Ayia Napa. This town has a golden beach, a massive waterpark, and a leafy waterfront promenade, where you can sample every style of cuisine within earshot of the waves. The town of Protaras, about 15 minutes’ drive from Nissi Beach, tends to spark a love-at-first-sight reaction for couples. This place is defined by vine-wrapped tavernas and some of the prettiest coastal spots in the region.

Sweeping countryside

Away from the big resorts, Larnaca is an unexplored region of rocky plains and sprawling fields scattered with windmills and wild flowers. It’s a haven for walkers, and for those who fancy filling up a picnic basket and heading for the lemon trees.
