Cyprus is a country where there are not many attractions. Therefore, the main direction of recreation here is beach tourism. People from all over the world come here to swim and sunbathe on the amazingly clean shores in warm, crystal water. Cyprus constantly attracts tourists, and the streets of the cities of the island of Aphrodite are always crowded. It turns out that for travelers who have flown to Cyprus, the beaches are the most important component of their vacation.
There are approximately 90 beaches on the island, and 52 of the total have recently received European Blue Flag proof of good environment and water quality.
By the way, it should be noted a very important fundamental feature of the Cypriot beaches - they are all municipal, which means that everyone can go to any of them and sit down to relax. Even if it is the territory of the hotel, and it is fenced. The only thing is that hotel residents most often do notpay for sun loungers and umbrellas, and visitors from the outside will have to pay two to three euros for an item.
The island has many shores, fenced off highways, where locals and many tourists also relax and sunbathe. But we will consider and discuss the best such places.
Most vacationers, when buying a tour to the island, first get acquainted with the possible location options, because there is a map of the beaches of Cyprus, which shows even more or less suitable places, as well as places that are dangerous for swimming. We will also begin our journey: from the west of the island, moving slowly to the east. Let's take a closer look at the Akamas Peninsula, which is not far from Paphos. Here, in the national park, there are sandy shores untouched by tourists. 12 km from the city is Coral Bay - an excellent sandy beach. The depth is far away, so this is a great place to relax with children.
