Nissi Beach beach

"The famous of the famous!". The place that everyone talks about! The place to be! This beach is universally popular with the lovers of the  "big" life and with those that want to experience "a touch of paradise". The Island or Nisi in greek, is one of the most famous destinations in the world.

This beach was named Nisi because in the west part of it there's a little island, which is linked to the beach through sandy paths. Its disposition was caused due to the low depth of the water and the movement of the sea currents. 

Konnos beach

A hidden paradise that comes through a forest area. Konnos beach is the hidden diamond of the area. A small bay that can be found while crossing a path full of trees. This is the path that drives you to the little paradise. It is the last beach of the province, which defines the borders between Ayia Napa and Paralimni.

If you wanna access the beach, you need to go down the hill. Before accessing it, remember that Konnos can offer you spectacular and breathtaking views from the top of the hill.

When you find yourself around there, don't miss out on joining a scuba-diving experience.
