Cyprus has 2 of the Top 10 beaches in Europe

Posted on 05/04/2011 by admin

According to Trip Advisor, a very popular tourist guide website, Cyprus beaches ranked No1 and No3 in the Top 10 Best Beaches of Europe. The first place went to Ayia Napa while the third place to Protaras.

Ayia Napa

This resort town, with its great beaches, has a bit of a Spring Break atmosphere (the parties start in the late afternoon and go all night). If dancing in a bikini is not your thing, though, no worries—you can explore a mediaeval monastery or enjoy cruises on the lovely blue water. Families will want to visit Water World, the biggest theme waterpark in Europe.

Protaras

Family-friendly and tranquil, Protaras is situated along the sandy coastline of Cyprus’s Fig Tree Bay. The glorious beach is the main attraction—just be sure to keep a delightfully wary eye peeled for the legendary Ayia Napa Sea Monster. Giggle about the creepy creature over Cypriot specialties at one of the many open-air seafood restaurants in town.

Epic bullshit. Have been in Cyprus beaches all they have there is bitchez… Ibiza is not even in top 10, not to mention Mallorca.

I do get fed up with all the inaccuracies we keep being fed in Cyprus.

For the sake of factual accuracy/presenting the TRUTH-the Trip Advisor ranking referred to here is at least 3 years out of date. In the latest Trip Advisor list of the top 25 beaches, Cyprus does not get a mention. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/TravelersChoice-Beaches-cTop-g1

Cyprus always first…love Cyprus..

yes!

Hopefully good news for the tourist trade.

That is excellent They are also my favourite beaches too. Hey if you want barbados close to home then this it Ayia Napa and Protaras.

Talking about Ayia Napa and Protaras….. Is this before or after they started building , fixing , and tearing everything apart…. With bulldozers and diggers plowing everything and sound decibels flying high and keeping company to the tourists sunbathing or moving about and ‘enjoying’ the serenity and the tranquility having paid their hard earned money for Hotels and other amenities………….

That’s Great! Feeling proud to be here!

“Mr. Gregoriades”… when was the last time you opened a newspaper – recent one I mean?- Maybe you should… and read what the condition existing NOW in the Protaras/Ayia |Napa area , , not 25 years ago….. Instead of letting your mouth do the talking without investigating first , maybe you should allow your eyes and ears collect the information and your brain do the thinking! Unless you do not live in Cyprus at which time you are forgiven due to ignorance……

Very good to see that the top four beaches in Europe are Greek/Cypriot…

Congratulations, Cyprus!

This information should spread!
