Mess and filth!! - Francesca. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Ayia Napa is just for nightlife!! During the day it's desert! The beaches aren't so great and except the monastery there's nothing to see!!! Not advisable if you don't like filth and mess!!

Best hoilday of my life - Deirdra. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Ayia Napa - what can I say? Best hoilday ever. I went with 16 of my friends, I'm not even back a week and I want to go back, the square where all the nightclubs are was amazing, Castle Club and Starskys best clubs in Ayia Napa. Also try Aqua, it has a swimming pool. The Iphigenia Apartments (where we stayed) are not the cleanest but they are about a 5 minute walk away from the square. You don't really eat when you're away but we did find this great restaurant Rikko's beside the Iphigenia Apartments. It certainly brought our appetites back. Ayia Napa was perfect and me and my friends and we are definitely going back. I went with £1000 and came back with £20 don't regret a penny I spent.

When I say Ayia.... - Stargirl. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Napa is amazing and if you haven't been, go! I worked in Napa for the summer last year in the Bhoys bar, sadly its closed down now... sniff. Had the best time working there getting gargled every night, heading dancing after work. oh yes, you could find us on the bar in Starskys every night. No doubt I just loved it. I'm going back this year just for a 2 week holiday mind. Me and me girls are hitting Napa on the 7th July so if you going then, see you there! The best spots in Napa are Starskys, Titanic, Senior Frogs, Ambassador, Castle Club, the Bell Inn... ah they all good and there's a place to suit anyone's taste even a bit a rock music!! Starskys does have to be me favourite though. It's just out of this world and a good thing bout Napa as well is that there's so many different cultures. Oh and the restaurants are gorgeous, especially the Mexican and Japanese places!
Well if you going to Napa have a good one! And if you're not, you're missing out!
Just Brill... - Cath and John. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Ayia Napa can be very lively but we found it fun even at our age. A must visit is Los Banditos Mexican restaurant near the square - but be prepared for a wait as it is always busy. The beach at Grecian Sands is brill (blue flag) and is just across the road from the Mermaid hotel where we stayed.

Ayia Napa lively - Steve Osbiston. Date of travel: Jul 2007
We didn't know the reputation of Ayia Napa before we booked and were a little worried but found the town to be full of bars and restaurants although we didn't use them. The fun fair was a little dead most of the time and the karting tracks looked dangerous but overall we found the town fine and catering for most needs.

It's like Blackpool with better weather - Annie. Date of travel: Jul 2007
If you want to eat pie and chips all week and watch Brits making total freaks of themselves, then this is the place for you. We knew it was going to be like Blackpool and used it as a cheap base. Once you get out of the town there's some great beaches and amazing places to visit. We hired mopeds and yourown transport is essential if you want to avoid going insane. It's just too tacky to spen any time in. If you're too scared to eat anything non-British then i'd highly recommend it. It is however a good base if you're the type of holidaymaker who likes to explore and doesn't see the point in flying half way across Europe only to stay in the one place all week.

Great sandy beach and excellent medieval monastery - John. Date of travel: Jul 2007
firstly Ayia Napa has excelllent sandy beaches, we used to visit the harbour beach, a long sandy beach with crystal clear waters just next to the traditional harbour. There we discovered a very nice restaurant Karousos Beach. The restaurant specialised in fish mezze. Another interesting site is the medieval monastery, the place is amazing and without a doubt the best sightseing of Ayia Napa.

I loved Ayia Napa - Rachael Owen. Date of travel: Jun 2007
The nightlife in Ayia Napa is very, very lively, we went to pretty much all the bars and clubs. I would definitely recommend the Castle Club, Carwash and Starskys, and for bars, Senior Frogs, Craigs Karaoke, Sky Bar and Bedrock Inn.
We also visited the Water Park which again is very good value for money and an excellent day out.
For food try any of the Chinese restaurants. Our favourite place for breakfast was Gary's.
I would recommend Ayia Napa.
Good restaurants - K I'Anson. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Restaurants to definitely try in Ayia Napa: Sage, Viva Mexico, Clarabels, Fiji and Sapparo. Good bar if your not interested in clubbing is Pepper (opposite Clarabels). The bakeries are good but not Bake and Bite! Water park is always worth it.

Ayia Napa - Sam Calder. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Ayia Napa is such a fantastic town to club at - lots of wicked clubs and bars to drink at and a great variety of restaurants to eat at.
The nearest beach was not very sandy but that didn’t stop us exploring other local beaches (Three Tree figs is only a ten minute walk and the Nissi beach is only a short bus ride). I would recommend you to explore other towns and villages (Paralimni and Protaras) to experience the Greek/ Cypriot culture.
The pic of the beach here is of the Nissi Beach.
Ayia Napa is mint!! - Tim Dawson. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Went to Ayia Napa in June this year and had a wicked time. It has the best beaches going and the night life is mental. I went for 2 weeks and didn't want to leave and was thinking of living there it's that good. Recommend people to pay a visit to Senior Frogs bar the most random, funniest bar I've seen in my life you'll know what I mean when you see it. Best club has got to be Starsky's. All the ladies dance on the bar, tunes can be a bit cheesey but the atmosphere is mint! Also Castle Club was great, loads of rooms playing all sorts of music. Guaranteed to have a great time. I got to go back soon, totally mental :)

Quiet and relaxing - David. Date of travel: May 2007
Town already busy, but still quiet and clean, in early May. Beaches very clean and walk into town along beach path very enjoyable. Great family break. One year old boy loved it.

Ayia Napa - Miss R Wilson & Mrs D Dent. Date of travel: May 2007
I went to Ayia Napa in May, the nightlife was amazing, bars and clubs all in the high street at the square. The staff in Ayia Napa were friendly, and a laugh! The holiday entertainer, Emily, I got on with really well, she made me go play water polo. The leisure facilities were amazing! The indoor pool was a bit cold as wasn't heated at this point. Was within walking distance to the Square Pub. The weather was good in May, at night you didn't even have to wear a jacket. Loved the place! Going to go there with all my mates when I leave school! Miss you George the barman and Hara the receptionist. Hope to see you all soon!

I absolutely love Ayia Napa. This will be my 5th time!! I even worked there for the summer of 2002!! It has everything to offer any age group, however, mum and dads you may feel a bit left out if you have kids to look after and you too want to join the clubbers at the square. All the pubs and clubs are magic and there are so many to choose from. Another great aspect about Ayia Napa that draws it apart from the like of Ibiza etc is the strict NO DRUG policy: the police come down hard and are can be very scary. If you plan to use drugs stay away. Ayia Napa is clean and friendly and brimming with action all day and night and we want to keep it that way. I'm there on Sunday, can't wait. See you there.xx Tour Operator: Thomas Cook

Proper bo i tell thee - Diana Currier, Jack Webb. Date of travel: Sep 2006
Ayia napa as a place is wicked, there is so much to do. I went with my boyfriend on a club 18-30 holiday which im sure everyone thought was a stupid idea! but it was the best holiday ever, the reps were hilarious and there was lots of stuff to do, we went on a bar crawl, had an enertainment night, booze cruise etc. loved buzz bar, sky bar, linekers, carwash, starskys etc - definitely worth checking out some of those if you go. Nissi beach was the best beach ive ever been to - you can walk for about half a mile out to sea and you dont get any deeper than your knee - clear water and white sand and the water was really warm and clean. there are bars lining the beaches that play funky house music so when your messing around in the sea you can listen to some tunes. i rented a quad bike which was awesome, saved loads of money on taxi fares that way. of course ayia napa is suited for single's but for couples its just as good - in the day you can chill out and at night it just comes alive! go for the drink offers like the all inclusive bars for 4 hours for £7 each - such a bargin and they dont measure drinks so you get wasted without spending much money. some clubs charge to get in but look for the PR guys who should be giving free entry tickets out.
€1 cocktails - Andy. Date of travel: Aug 2006
Holiday to Ayia Napa was the best yet! Went with a group of 5 lads. Start the night with €1 cocktails - happy hour is from 4-5pm and then again at 8-10pm. The clubs were amazing, the best were Castle, Starky’s, Carwash and Ice. End the night at the after party at River Reggae. For day time activities I suggest the bungee jump, it costs around £50 but its so worth it. The water park is also amazing. Nissi beach was the best beach in Ayia Napa, great amosphere.

Ayia Napa is very busy city. Its nightlife is nice for young people like me. I usually visited Castle club and Carwash, and also River rage. In Ayia Napa you can find too many shopping centres to buy souvenirs...

Ayia Napa is one of the best places I have been to yet. It's not all about clubbing,a lthough there are plenty of them! There are plenty of nice restaurants and bars to keep you entertained too. The beaches there are fantastic too with plenty of watersports to offer. It has something to offer everyone. Tour Operator: own arrangments

I had a fantastic time when I went to Ayia Napa last year!!! We stopped just outside of the main square where all the pubs and clubs are, which just came alive at nightime!! During the day you can go to the beaches or why not try out the waterpark with some of the biggest water rides in Europe!! For the best club try 'The Castle' which has 4 floors to suit all tastes and you must go to The Bedrock Pub which is themed on the Flintstones!! Great fun!! All in all its a fun packed holiday for something to do for everbody, ranging from young groups to families and couples. Why not give it a go? Tour Operator: Travel City direct

Don’t believe it! Ayia Napa is not just for uncivilised clubbers! It is still possible to enjoy a great holiday at this wonderful resort and here’s how: First of all make sure you avoid the June-September clubbing season. Cyprus in March is perfect! Next, choose a hotel away from the Square. I prefer Liminaki Beach. Get away from it all by avoiding the packed Nissi Beach which is over-rated anyway, and try alternatives like Macronissos and Ayia Thekla for a peaceful time on soft sand and clean water. All the facilities are still there. At night you can sit and watch the world go by in the Square which is quiet until around 10pm. After that get out of the area as it tends to get over-crowded and look for some friendly pubs further afield where you can while away the rest of the night. If you want to get a bit more out of your holiday and discover the history of Cyprus take a trip to Dherynia (not far) where you can see the Green Line and the traditional island culture.

The nite life was amazing tho and we made some brill new friends and never ran out of new pubs and clubs to go to. We wanna go back soon and party on but will go to another hotel.

I think Cyprus is a fantastic holiday destination for families,couples and the older traveller it has a resort to suit everybody's wants and needs I have been twice now and am looking forward to returning again this June. I myself stay just outside Ayia Napa on a great hill top location with a lovely view of the sea and a nice 10 minute walk to the centre. I just feel that Cyprus is really pretty and clean and has so much history about it and one other important point to mention is that they drive on the same side of the road as us which is good to know if you want to hire a car but are nervous about driving one in a different country if you fancy something a little different but still want the sun sea and great hospitality than give cyprus a try i am sure you will not be dissapointed.
