Nicosia and its attractions for beach lovers
While Nicosia itself is landlocked and does not have direct beach access, you can easily venture to the nearby coastal towns for a beach experience. Just a short drive away, Larnaca boasts the stunning Finikoudes Beach, where you can relax under the sun or enjoy water sports like jet skiing and paddle boarding. For families, the nearby Mackenzie Beach offers a vibrant atmosphere with beachfront cafes and playgrounds, perfect for children to enjoy while parents unwind. If you're interested in a cultural twist, the ancient ruins at Kition in Larnaca provide a historical backdrop to your beach day. Additionally, the picturesque Ayia Napa is only a little further, famous for its stunning Nissi Beach, known for its turquoise waters and soft sands. When looking for accommodations, consider staying in the charming Larnaca area, where you can find upscale hotels that offer beach views and excellent service, creating a perfect home base for beach adventures while still being a short drive from Nicosia's rich cultural sites.
