The island has a range of beaches, including Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa and Geroskipou Municipal Beach in Paphos. Both beaches are popular tourist destinations and have great facilities toilets, showers, cafes, restaurants, sun beds, water activities and more.
Aphrodite Beach, located in the Limassol district, is a quieter beach that has the same facilities as the others. It also has a grassy area with shade provided by palm and eucalyptus trees, which gives the ‘relaxing’ identity.
