Cyprus - By Day

---

---

You must experience Ayia Napa to fully appreciate the pleasures drawn from this paradise…

Every day saw us spend hours soaking up the atmosphere of Nissi Beach, a spot I could almost certainly spend my entire life at and never really ever tire of. So much so that day trips to nearby islands were forgotten, sightseeing was abandoned, and plans on running amok at the 3rd biggest Watermark in Europe were scrapped when we discovered this place. On any day this beach was jam packed with beach goers doing pretty much as they fancy. Nissi beach is beyond words - it is ineffable.

Seven days in 38 degree temperatures spent relaxing in either the crystal clear waters or on the fine white sands, listening to the love the resident djs were pleasuring my eardrums with -meant that the colour of my skin would gradually be the best it has ever looked (or for the pessimist the most damaged it has ever been).

For some reason clouds do not exist in Cyprus, nor do tan lines. Woman that visit Nissi Beach are far more beautiful than other woman, and thankfully less clothed. They seem to only pack the lower part of their swimming essentials, which even then is not a complete necessity. I had countless conversations with topless girls - none of them shy - none of them at all bothered by my lazy, and at times wandering, eye - a pervasive disorder I seemed to develop whist at this beach.

If you speak to a local they claim that Cyprus boasts the best beaches in the world, Australians have a tendency to do the same, but as far as feeling a vibe for a place, no beach that I have populated has even come close to this one.

So when I say Ayia… you had better say Napa.

Sharing more than just the luke warm waters

Unbeatably clear

Cast your own judgement

The Rules
We found this beachside signpost very pertinent

Brown
Not sure that a Derwent pencil comes in this shade of brown

Helping Hand
I was more than happy to help out with applying tanning oil to those hard to reach areas

The Cliff Jump
Azz - ever the crowd pleaser - made this dive look easy

Re : Helping Hand
Davo, Had a quite a few chuckles and the odd belly laugh over the latest Cyprian entry. I do have a question though: Was Azz asleep when you were applying the tanning oil? Enjoy the World Cup, Pearso

Hi mate, Loving the pics. Quick Question, Got a nice big group of mates going out next year end of june/july time. Were all Aiya Napa virgins and Having read and seen Nissi Beach that will most probably take priority during the day but What is the general clubbing life like? for example is it cheap/full of women and not full of chavy lil kids ? Appreciate it if you could get back too me. Nice 1
