Beaches

Cyprus has some top notch beaches. It has many tens of Blue Flag organised beaches as well as a collection of remote, hardly organised ones.  There is a huge variety, and one will certainly find her favorite.  All colours of sand, from white and golden to dark, pebble, rock of various colours, calm protected waters or rougher sea, ragged environment to tamed artificial wavebreaker type, there is a lot to choose from.  Many of the organised Cyprus beaches certainly get packed in summer, but even then there are many that are not congested.  The ones I would recommend are  in the area of Ayia Napa and Protaras (south east) and a few at the northwest (Akamas peninsula).

You can find in depth information on Cyprus beaches, as well as other parts of Cyprus natural heritage (walking trails, dams, sea caves, birds, etc) on www.natureofcyprus.org.
