* Make sure to pack your suncream!
* Buy a bat and ball: play at the water’s edge to keep cool
* Be aware of turtle conservation areas and watch where you step
* Take a cool box: keep your snacks and drinks cold in the heat
* Take a basin: fill it up and wash your sandy feet (and children!) much easier before you leave

Pissouri Bay ★★★★★
Location
This beach is the closest lifeguard-manned beach to the resort. The beach is a sand pebble mix but the waters are crystal clear and relatively calm. This lively bay has cafes, restaurants and watersports aplenty meaning its family friendly as there’s lots for children to do whilst the adults lay back and relax on the comfy sunbeds. If you are lucky enough you may see some turtles in late September. Great for: watersports!

Melanda Beach ★★★★★
Location
A delightful bay and beautiful sandy\pebble, child friendly beach with sparkling blue water. Situated in an idyllic, Tranquil location just 20 minutes from the Resort. Melanda beach restaurant serves beautiful fresh fish and other Cypriot cuisine. You could even arrange a boat ride there from Pissouri Bay! This beach is highly recommended due to its family fun activities and delicious food provided in the restaurant. Great for: amazing food by the sea!

Kourion Beach ★★★★★
Location
Kourion is a sandy blue flag beach (extremely environmentally friendly) with a gentle shoreline situated below the Roman Amphitheatre. This beach is great for swimming and relaxing, the waves here are very lively creating lots of fun for adults and children. Make sure to try the Chris Blue Beach restaurant for brunch or lunch It is more popular with locals than tourists, but the food and drinks here are lovely – one of our fav places. Great for: waves!

Lady’s Mile ★★★★★
Location

The perfect beach for children and families due to the crystal-clear shallow waters and the golden sand that stretches for miles. There are lots of inflatables and activities for children. Popular for windsurfing. There are some super trendy beach bars along this strip too; including Aplostra, Columbia Sun and more. Gentlemen welcome too ! Great for: inflatables in the sea – hours of fun!

Nissy Bay ★★★★★
Location

If standing on the beaches looking at the peaches is your thing, this is the place to go. Nissy is Ayia Napa’s classic party beach, but is also very picturesque. Gets very busy so get here early to secure the best spot. Lots of watersports and bungee jumping available. White sands, clear waters. Great for: beach parties!

Over Land and Sea with Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures

A Day of sightseeing and fun

Not many Jeep Tour companies in Cyprus come as highly recommended as Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures, which is why they are our preferred partner for jeep tours. Jimmy and his team provide a really personal, friendly service and boast amazing local knowledge, making their tours both informative and fun. They’ll make sure you explore the best parts of Cyprus at the best times, beating the tourist rushes and sharing their love of the island with you along the way.

Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures offer a good variety of trips to choose from, and don’t forget, Aphroditerentals.com guests’ benefit from a fantastic 10% off bespoke tours; so make sure you get in touch with Jimmy to find out more information on those.

This post brings you information on the amazing ‘Over Land and Sea’ trip that offers a half day’s adventure by both Landrover and boat:

Stopping at Peyia Sea Caves / Edro Shipwreck for a photo opportunity, this trip then moves on to St Georges church and fishing harbour for a small explore around the picturesque area, and comfort break if you so wish, with time to buy a coffee/refreshment. Then the real fun begins, with off-road adventure through the stunning Akamas peninsula to Lara bay. Lara Bay is famously known for being where turtles lay their eggs, and is a great spot to learn about the local turtle conservation project – you might even be lucky enough to witness a live hatching!

From there the trip continues to a viewing point where both east and west coasts can be seen, then it’s down to a semi-abandoned Turkish-Cypriot village on the way to the baths of Aphrodite. A lunch stop at the pretty Latchi harbour is next; this is optional and food is not included in the trip price. A wonderful 3 hour boat trip to the incredible Blue Lagoon ensues, where approximately an hour is allocated to swimming and snorkelling in the crystal blue sea. A glass of wine or juice, and some seasonal fruit, is offered on board after this. After docking back in Latchi it’s time to make our way back to Paphos; another opportunity to marvel at this beautiful coastline.

Please note that the itinerary may be subject to change according to weather conditions.

“Ive had the pleasure to go join Jimmy on his Over Land and Sea Safari … absolutely highly recommended . This guy knows his stuff about Cyprus … a pleasure to tour with him and an adventure to say the least !”

Walks in Cyprus – Genesis Aphrodite’s Trail

Walks in Cyprus – Genesis Aphrodite’s Trail

WALKS IN CYPRUS - GENESIS APHRODITE'S TRAIL

white cliffs and sea views

Googlemap Starting Point: Genesis Aphrodite’s Trail.

Length: Approx 10.5km
Time: Approx 2.5 – 3 hours

A very popular walk that runs between the top of Pissouri Village, near Pine Bay Resort residential area to the ‘Prolimnos Dog’s Beach’ and back. The official starting point is the Dog’s Beach, which is located near Aphrodite Hills Resort (around 6km), however we recommend starting and ending in Pissouri instead; where it’s easier to park and the start of the walk is flatter. This also gives you the opportunity to stop and enjoy the pebble dog beach in the middle of the walk – you could even take a picnic to enjoy there too.

Walking in Cyprus is a real pleasure, especially at springtime and after late summer (July and August is a little hot for hiking, unless you’re good with the heat!). This trail is best known for its views of the white cliffs (Cape Aspro) that run along the coast between Pissouri and Aphrodite’s Rock, the mythological birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. They are simply spectacular, especially against the backdrop of the seemingly never ending, vast Mediterranean Sea shimmering beautifully beyond vision.

Park up just past the Pine Bay Resort residential area in Pissouri where the Genesis Aphrodite’s Trail begins through a brief pine forest that then opens up to flat fields (where there are some horses and often, goats). Follow the flat fields for some distance and keep your eyes peeled for the hiking information board on the right hand side of the path – it is a little tricky to spot and looks like it might take you a little off-piste, but despite appearances it is the correct way to go. The path is easy to follow beyond this point, and ends at the pebble beach known as ‘Dogs beach’ next to the B6 road that runs along the coast between Paphos and Limassol. This is not a circular path, so once you reach this point, it is a case of turning back and enjoying the views for a second time.

A lovely blog that documents the Genesis Aphrodite’s Trail, together with a suggested app for the route, is Discovercyprus.blog.
