HOT AND STEAMY BUT COLD BEER

MY TEN DAYS WERE SPENT BETWEEN SWIMMING, SUNBATHING, DANCING,EATING AND SLEEPING.

AYIA NAPA HAS GREAT BEACHES LIKE NISSI BEACH FOR THE YOUNGER CROWDS OR MACRONISSOS. CLEAR BLUE WATERS COOL YOU OFF SINCE THE HEAT IS OVER 40 DEGREES CELCIUS. THIS JULY WAS VERY COMFORTABLE THOUGH. SINCE I LOVE SWIMMING AND SUNBATHING I USED TO DROVE TO PROTARAS - 10 MINUTES DRIVE - FOR THE COASTS OF FIG TREE AND POLYXENIA. MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE EARLY TO GET A GOOD SPOT CLOSER TO THE WATER.

THALASSA IS THE GREEK WORD FOR SEA

LOTS OF SNACK BARS ARE AROUND THE BEACH SO FOOD IS GOOD AND CHEAP. I ALWAYS ENJOY DINING AT RESTAURANTS BUT SNACKS ARE A GOOD SOLUTION IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS YOUR SPOT AT THE BEACH

AROUND 9 AT NIGHT AND AFTER GETTING A NAP AND A SHOWER I WAS VISITING DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS. YOU CAN GET BASICALLY EVERYTHING; GREEK AND CYPRIOT MEZE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN. MOST OF THE RESTAURANTS OFFER GOOD VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. CYPRIOT RESTAURATEURS HAVE GOOD MARKETING SKILLS AND THIS MAKES THE EXPERIENCE ENJOYABLE.

THE NIGHT NEVER FINISHES IN AYIA NAPA SO AFTER LATE DINNER I LOVE DANCING IN CLUB BLACK AND WHITE. IT HAS A COOL CROWD AND A GREAT LOUNGE ROOM IF YOU GET TIRED OR NEED SOME FRESH AIR. IF YOU STILL HAVE ENERGY LEFT GO TO CLUB INSOMNIA. THE MUSIC THERE STOPS AT 6 IN THE MORNING. IT'S AN ONGOING PARTY

I WOULD RECOMMEND THE LOCAL MUSEUM AND SOUVENIR SHOPS TO THE CULTURAL TRAVELLERS. THE MUSEUM IS CALLED "THALASSA" WHICH IS THE GREEK WORD FOR SEA

FOR ME AYIA NAPA IS A LIFE EXPERIENCE CAUSE I WAS VISITING THE AREA SINCE I WAS 18. BUT IT NEVER STOPS TO AMAZE ME. NOT A DAY OR NIGHT IS THE SAME AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND CULTURES YOU MEET THROUGH YOUR STAYING THERE
