BEACHES - in Cyprus, all municipal (that is, free, with the exception of umbrellas (2.5 euros, sun loungers 2.5 euros, and partially some souls in Cyprus
for a fee from 50 cents to 1 euro for half a minute somewhere in a minute)
The beaches of Ayia Napa are the one that is near the hotel in the port to go for 15-20 minutes, there is Ocean Basket in the port (the best in price-quality
((more on that later)
What can I say: on the first day there was a shock from such a beach, it is disgusting, unkempt rocky

(only visiting beaches, ready? Then Ayia Napa will suit you.
The road to the local beach: we leave the hotel on the right, past many shops, cafes, we reach the hotel 'Faros'
he stands almost on the ring with a fountain,
turn left (on the corner there is a huge beach shop (there is everything) a beach towel at a price tag of 5 with something euro,
in fact 8.5 they add tax,
keep in mind (yes, I bought it because the hotel does not give out! ! ! We reach the Limanaki hotel (closest to the local beach) that's 2 minutes and the beach.

The closest beach to the hotel is the one in the port called Limanaki Beach

******************************************************* ******************************************************* **************************
They say if you go left to the Napa Mermaid 3 *** hotel and go down there will be a beach - GLIKI-NERO (it is without stones (alas, I did not find
We leave the hotel to the left, we pass the monument (AYIA NAPA, with which everyone takes pictures, we go to the opposite side,
to the store "APHRODITE"
there is a bus stop = 102 = it goes through most of the beaches to the WATER PARK (water park terminus)
on the beaches, first there will be a stop - Nissi Beach (the Vassos Nissi hotel stands on the beach itself, it is not possible to see it))
)Next stop Landa Beach (my favorite), next stop Makronisos Beach
Locals highly recommend Konnos Beach, it stands in the bay (did not get there)

************ on the beaches of Ayia Napa ********************************* ******

in the first place: Landa Beach (it is a small beach strip quite wide, there are not very many tourists, there are no stones, azure
shore, shower for free, 6-10 meters and the depth went (super)*********************************** ***************
on the second: Makronisos Beach (walk 10 minutes from the main road to the right up to it) it is larger than Landa, 5 meters and immediately the depth
******************************************************* ******************************************************* ***********************************


*on the third :
Nissi Beach, at the end of June, Nissi blooms, the water is azure, but the depth is either knee-deep or waist-deep, chest-deep, that's all.
there are a lot of people, the music is fun, the shower here is paid for a minute one euro (like so
******************************************************* ******************************************************* ******************************************************* ************888
Bus from the beaches to the hotel************************************** from any of the listed ones got off, moved on road to the opposite side
and 101 * travel costs until night time (23-00.1. 5 euros, later in my opinion 2.5 ****************
In the morning, taxi drivers drive up to the stop and also offer a ride for 1.5 or 2 euros per person to the beaches, picking up people at stops
(convenient, do not be afraid of the official taxi (((Many did not agree, but in vain
If you didn’t buy something in Russia, here you will buy absolutely everything, and even more, any thing (if I knew I wouldn’t run on the last day
picking up every little thing.

****************************************************NAPA PLAZA* *****************************************

From Larnaca airport, the travel time to the hotel is approximately one hour, we are penultimate, after the hotel. Napa Mermaid 3
Settlement
Quickly, we arrived at the hotel after 14-00, which was a minus for me?
They don’t explain at all where everything is, and such moments as: what you should ask yourself for the safe (no one will offer anything
. Rent price*****Safe 3 EUR per day
The cost of renting a mini fridge in your room is 3 euros per day
(you should not take it, it barely cools, the ice cream brought in the evening melts overnight
melted in it at all) it makes the water a little better, of course, just not warm (I would not advise renting a refrigerator

Air conditioning is excellent, we have it for free (in many other hotels in Cyprus, air conditioning is available for an additional fee.
a card on a towel for the pool (there are no beach ones, but tourists took towels for the pool to the beach on the sly
You get a card for a beach towel at the reception, then go to the end of the pool where there is a round arch like a bar, behind it is
mini-market, there in the market you change the seller’s card for a towel, it seems that the market is open from 9-00 to 17-00, but there is still a break,
in a week I got it once just to hand over this towel, it just didn’t work to change 5 days))))

*************** the superior view of the neighboring hotel and Luna Park (it will be quieter (111.113, 115.117, 119 (far from the noise, from 121 already closer

In the Room ***** upon check-in ************ a liter bottle of water (then buy in any market or stall) and three green apples,
I was very worried about not getting enough sleep, but in vain) Noise isolation is good, no one interfered, the balcony looks out the windows of another hotel
, this hotel DOES NOT have rooms OUTSIDE
There are bars perpendicular to the street (which saves from noise
****************
Minus my number 117 (maybe not only mine) every day, No EVERY DAY the key card was demagnetized
(really annoying, going to "reception" did not always work to replace the card and so on several times.

*****************Cleaning******************************** ******
Depends on the change of cleaners, eating better eating worse generally weak
A table with a TV where cosmetics do not wipe
In general, the room is very decent, comfortable in terms of area, the balcony has two chairs, a table, an ashtray, a dryer, the second floor is Cypriots
called the first
my room was on the second floor but the elevator has to press "1", the elevator is a little dull
you can climb the stairs.
The info room is located from "reception to the left and again to the left into the building opposite the elevator (this is the building where my 117 room was located))))
On the territory of the hotel, or rather along, there are several bars belonging to the hotel:

1) Cafe Central is waiting for you daily from 10.00 to 01.30 hours
2) Pepper Bar *********************************** (from 17-00 to 2-00h)
3)Deck Terrace - al fresco restaurant***************
4)Yacht Pool Bar******************************
5) Wasabi sushi bar is waiting for you daily from 17.00 to 01.30*

******************************************************* *************************** Cloisters Restaurant***** is a restaurant that includes the hotel's food system
The hotel operates on a breakfast system (BB
***************************************** breakfast-dinner(HB
******************************* breakfast-lunch-dinner (FB
************************** breakfast + Dean Eraud (i. e. dinner at a restaurant of your choice
******************All Inclusive - at the hotel -NO**********
****The BB restaurant is open from 7-00 to 10-00
Quite big and roomy.
At breakfast every day the same thing in the same place, the wrong word bothers)))
So: tomato-bean soup, it was like that porridge, fried bacon, sausages, boiled eggs, fried, pasta, rustic potatoes,
stewed vegetables, baked tomato, egg casserole, cut sausages and cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, arugula, olives,
olives, fried halloumi, sometimes pancakes, yogurt, various jams, nuts, cereals, croissants, muffins, cakes, one type of casserole (not always)
Watermelon is gorgeous, melon is good but not always, then canned fruits are peach, pineapple, mix
Tea, coffee, juices from the machine, there is no talk of natural
Two bottles (D E W E V O G O, champagne, someone wrote about Moet (probably had a dream)) I didn’t count on Moet, but certainly something better,
but alas, it's sad
tried it, sour, didn’t drink, hangover "imported" teenagers /
********************* got up at 6-40, ah-ha-x, at 7 the restaurant is empty
******* The pool, in my opinion, is not very well located, it stands between the buildings there is no shade at all, you won’t swim much

there are a lot of people in the pool, it is heavily chlorinated, it is felt that there are always free sunbeds at any time.

There is a toilet near the Pool Bar, or rather behind it on the pool, we go down the stairs and there is nothing marked
ironing room with two washing machines))) (Free of charge

LOCATED NAPA PLAZA in the resort town of AGIA NAPA (Agia is named after Saint Agia, Russian speaking Aya
The hotel is located on a street with many cafes, shops, pharmacies, . . behind the hotel 2 minutes walk behind the main square with fountains,
where artists paint portraits, there is an abandoned Venetian monastery of the 16th century, admission is free.
A little further 5-7 minutes walk on the same side, if you go up in front of the Hard Rock cafe, turn left begins BAR STREET.
If the active party is Red Square, Senior Frog, Soho, and I really liked the IRELAND-PAB at the end of the bar street with famous hits
with a guitar such as (California)

Cyprus is famous for its unusual mountain landscapes, monasteries and churches, many ancient ruins and surviving medieval architecture,
it was here that myths and legends were born. ******************************************************* *****************

Many tourists are attracted by Kykkos. After all, it contains the icon of the Mother of God with Jesus in her arms written
from her face during the life of the artist Luka. In total, there are 3 such icons in the world, and only 2 are freely available.

In Kykkos, the icon is hung with cloth, you WILL NOT SEE it, you can only touch it with your hand (but on a tour in a hurry, you can forget about this.
Certainly very beautiful
But the feelings remained mixed, (knowing about such a difficult road initially, I just wouldn’t go))))
******************************************************* *********************Tours**************************** **
If you have only a week of rest, do not waste precious time on excursions, there are no interesting excursions in Cyprus, I was not hooked, I even regretted it ....
Kykkos at Pegasus 60 euros adult ticket departure from the hotel at 7-30 at 20-00 you will return what they will not tell you about, they will also NOT SAY that part of the way (200 km)
this is a very steep serpentine uphill (Sochi is resting.....
Children were especially hard on the road, they just vomit, adults sit and endure
Didn't like the tour at all...
The road to Kykkos went through the Troodos mountain range (15 min stop) just on the way to the monastery
and stop at the birthplaces of Aphrodite (40 min,
But while you get to Aphrodite, there will be many sightseeing buses, and accordingly: Toilet queues
Locker-queue
shower 50 cents (a coin is thrown into the apparatus
(Bring small money with you)
And in the end, go through the transition to the beach and enter the input in 40 minutes with queues, you will practically have no time
Not a very calm sea, a strong wave, stones strongly beat the legs ......
Finally a trace. east of Kykkos, everything is galloping there, we galloped to the wine and oil factory
After a stop for about half an hour in one small village, with a monastery, and local souvenirs, scarves, silver, and that's it.
This is the whole program included in the tour))))

The balcony of my room overlooked Luna Park
To use the attractions at the box office of the amusement park, tokens are bought (1 token costs 1 euro), for 10 euros you get 12 tokens.
The cost of attractions is from 1 to 4 tokens, and for karting up to 18 tokens. ******************************************************* ****
You can buy unlimited travel to some attractions according to the list for 25 euros,

a bracelet is put on the arm, and during the day you can ride the attractions according to the list as much as you like
AQUAPARK Water Word is the largest outdoor water park in Europe, built in 1996.
This huge open-air water park is stylized as ancient Greek myths - names, sculptures and even slides...
everything is done in a single beautiful and mythical style. There is Atlantis, a Trojan horse, centaurs and pegasi
, slides in the form of intertwined snakes and even a minotaur!
The cost of an adult ticket is 36 euros
The cost of a child ticket is 22 euros.
******************************************************* ******************************************************* ******************************************************* ***********
******************************************************* ******************************************************* ***********
A ticket to the fountain show in Protaros costs 19 euros
show starts at 21-00
******************** and the second session at 23-00
A visiting card of Cyprus - the Meze dish is cooked only for two, it will be difficult for one to find it, or it will not be exactly the same "Meze))
)Vegetables very few tomatoes cucumbers in portions are very problematic and not the best.
* (As I understand it, they are imported from them, they do not grow on local lands
Just like the sea, products are also imported (disappointment
In portions, they are very few as well as vegetables, but rice and french fries are in abundance)
Recommend: Moussaka, Kleftiko, Halumi, Suvla, and. t d
Purely my opinion Cypriot CUISINE - Alas, not IMPRESSED
(As the guy wrote earlier in his review, "the crisis is on the face" - I completely agree!

The best choice is perhaps the Ocean Basket in the port, sometimes you have to wait in line for the tables, going into the restaurant you will see a stoic with a menu, come up and sign up, they are seated, in principle, quickly. (
(Here at least more in portions of seafood, shrimp are cleaned, and mussels are trimmed (+++

On the hotel street, on the right, there will be McDonald's again on the right, if you go further (go min 30, there will be a TEQUILA MEXICAN GARDEN restaurant,
Unusual interior delicious dishes, the menu is not a great choice.
I really liked the first courses, in the network of restaurants **************** WAGA MAMA (for example, fish soup with noodles and shrimp 13 euros,
you can safely ask for a portion for two
This is a Japanese or Chinese network, seemingly unremarkable, but I didn’t regret going in, delicious kiwi fresh juices
Near the hotel there is a beautiful restaurant "DOM MEZE", prices are high food-Very tasty, for 20 euros to eat french fries
somehow it’s not worth it (the rest just couldn’t)))

Wines of the same Commandaria from 18 euros, one of the first varieties and the most famous (
(to say that I would like it very much, sorry, but no)))

Olive oil 0.5 from 7.5 euros
1 liter and 750 ml from 10.5 euros everywhere in different ways (didn’t bother more expensive, didn’t look for cheaper)
(at the factory where they are imported from Kykkos, everything is more expensive, and oil and cosmetics

Napa is an expensive pleasure, prices are high, don’t expect exotic fruits, strawberries, cherries, apples, grapes,
A brush of grapes for example (small, sour) cost me 3 euros
I wanted figs, medlars, (either out of season, or I don’t know))))
, Near the hotel on the right is an ice cream shop, and inside there are burgers, pastries, water, delicious fresh juices, I recommend carrot or apple mix
, carrots well restores the body after sunburn.
After the night life the city is dirty, but here you have to understand yours or not.

Photo-beautiful photos can be taken on the bridge of lovers, how to find?
******************************************************* ******************************************************* ******************************************************* ************************************
The bridge of lovers is located on the shore at the easternmost entrance to Ayia Napa - to the west of the bridge, a well-maintained
resort area of ​ ​ the city with well-provided and clean beaches, hotels and entertainment venues,

and to the east, another famous natural attraction of Cyprus originates - the Cavo Greco sea caves.
From Ayia Napa it is very easy to get to the bridge - you can even do it on foot; the place is very popular and most of the tourists
and residents of the city will be happy to tell you the way to the "Love Bridge" or "Stone Arch" - this is how the locals often call the bridge.
You can also use the city bus - the nearest stop "Marina" is a two-minute walk;
or by car - you need to drive west along Kryou Nerou street and just behind the Atlantica Club Sungarden Beach hotel,
where the road comes to the coast, and there will be the Bridge of Lovers.
