Close to the exciting resort of Ayia Napa but distanced enough to offer peaceful, sandy beaches, Nissi Bay holidays are popular choices for those looking for a quieter destination or travelling with children.
Nissi Bay is ideal for families, thanks to the gently sloping white sands and shallow, warm, calm waters and plenty of activities...
If you're looking for a holiday with some of the best beaches on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, then head to Nissi Bay on the east coast.
The sheltered sea makes it a good spot to learn to dive and there is a full selection of water sports on offer, including snorkelling, paragliding, windsurfing and jet skiing. You could also take a boat trip if you prefer to travel on the water rather than in it.
One of the major tourist attractions is the nearby Greek-mythology-themed WaterWorld Waterpark, which has plenty of rides, slides, pools and flumes to provide a full day of entertainment. Toddler areas make it ideal for all the family.
Another good place to visit for families is the Ocean Aquarium in Ayia Napa, where you will find lots of marine life including sharks and stingrays. There is also a penguin house and an enclosure with crocodiles.
For a taste of the island's culture and history visit the nearby Macronissos Tombs, cut out of solid rock, or visit Ayia Napa to look at the town's ancient monastery, dating to the 16th century.
Nissi Bay has many restaurants and bars but head to Ayia Napa if you want to experience its legendary club scene and nightlife. Given its fantastic climate, cheap holidays in Nissi Bay are a great way to spend a week or two in the sun.

Holidays to Nissi Bay revolve around the summer months, but for really cheap Nissi Bay holidays consider a spring or autumn booking...
Nissi Bay is hottest from June to September, with temperatures reaching around 34C. The winter months are cooler and rainfall is at its peak in December.
Apart from the daily events at various bars and restaurants between Nissi Bay and Ayia Napa, there are plenty of annual celebrations...
One Big Sunday; weekly during the summer: Every Sunday from 2pm-6pm, party animals will love Nissi Bay's beach party involving foam parties and games.
Independence Day; March: The Greek nation takes the day/weekend off every March 25 to celebrate Greek National Day, which marks the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821. Similar celebrations break out on April 1 for Greek Cypriot Day.
Water Festival; June: The Kataklysmos festival takes place every year to mark a story from Greek mythology in which all living things – except one couple – were wiped out by floods. Nowadays the festival is a great excuse for a five-day party that involves concerts, arts performances and plenty of feasting.
Whether you’re travelling alone, or with kids, Nissi Bay has a little something for everyone...
Kids and teens: Waterworld Waterpark is a massive complex of adult and kids’ swimming pools, pools, slides and rides next to Nissi Bay.
Active types: The clear and calm waters close to Nissi Bay make for great diving – particularly for beginners. A number of diving centres nearby can arrange excursions beneath the waves.
Nightlife: If you want a quiet night out, stick around Nissi Bay. If you’re craving dancing, drinking and loud tunes, take the short walk into Ayia Napa and you won’t be disappointed.
