The next summer season comes and is the very time to think about a trip to Cyprus. There was already warmth, even though the sea is still possible and cold, but the sun is already affectionate and ready to give the first tan. So, I suggest to talk about the resorts of Cyprus, where it is better to go and what to expect from each of them. Recently, new resort places appeared on the market, such as: Pissouri, Polis. But, the main and the same remained the same: Larnaca, Limassol, Aya-Napa, Paphos and Protaras. Tourist aircraft arrive at two airports: in Larnaca and Paphos, so based on where your resort is located, you plan to end the flight point. For example, if you chose Paphos as a rest, it is certainly better to fly to the nearest airport to cut the distance on the shuttle, it is especially convenient when small children fly with you. True, in the high season, it is often necessary to adapt to the fact that it remains if the ticket was not ordered in advance.
Cyprus resorts map.
The most popular resort in Cyprus - Aya-Napa . It is famous for its chic beaches: Surian Bay and Nissi Beach. All beaches here municipal, awarded blue flag for purity. The town itself is not a big, the hotel base mainly consists of apartments and hotels 3 *. For more demanding tourists, the choice of accommodation means will not be at all big. But here is very quiet and calm. In the center of Aya-Napa, all the entertainment places are usually concentrated, and this is a special street where all nightclubs are located, but she, no in any way prevent others, the main thing is not to take the hotel near her, otherwise they will not even take earnings. In my opinion, the resort is universal and will suit the entire categories of tourists, ranging from families with children and ending with active partitioning young people.

Further popularity is a large port city. Limassol . Here the painting of the rest is already somewhat different. In Limassol, there are preferably hotels 3 *. But, tourists do not like to stop in the city center, preferring the outskirts. Here is a large selection of high star hotels, among them network chains. Some have their own beaches. Many accommodation facilities already have a good territory and well-developed infrastructure. Beaches in Limassol are gray sand, somewhere small pebbles. From the point of view of resting with children, it is very good here, and the hotels themselves have great opportunities, ranging from playgrounds and ending with children's clubs.
Limassol is perfect for recreation with children and for tourists looking for comfortable hotels with high level of service.

Third resort, where tourists are sent - Pathos . He attracts with its cultural values. The beaches here are more stony, often you can find what hotels 5 * are located on from the sea than 3 *. There is such a nuance here. I would not advise this resort to families with children. It is more suitable for a respectable, calm public, which is looking for a quiet, comfortable stay.

Protaras. - A small resort town located not far from Aya-Napa. It is famous for its sandy beaches, a good sunset in the sea. It is very quiet and calm here. Most hotels are 3 * - 4 *. Who needs a relatively inexpensive rest, it is worth choosing Protaras. This is especially true of families with children and elderly tourists. Ride from Larnaca Airport to Protarasa not long, about an hour. Infrastructure in this place is also well developed, there are supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, shops. Boring will not exactly.

Larnaca - Once the majority of tourists choose her for their rest. Here is a good long and wide beach with yellow sand. The sea is petty to get to the depth you must go through a decent distance. With children it is undoubtedly plus. The main value of Larnaca is the palm promenade, which in the evenings collects a large number of slowly walking tourists. However, Larnaca has changed much lately. It became more like a megapolis, plugs were formed, the buildings began to grow in height. This is not the same Larnaca, which was once. Therefore, tourists come on the old memory here, stopping in hotels 3 * or apartments, but to feel at the resort, I would advise you to book a hotel on the outskirts of Larnaca, for example, Palm Beach.

And now about two new resorts that appeared in the menu on the Russian market.
Policy - Located 30 km. From Paphos. Place with good sandy and wide beaches. A small infrastructure, based on tourists, where to get to eat, buy some necessary things and products. Polis - a place for those who want to relax from civilization, to be alone with them and nature. Among the accommodation facilities, there are hotels and 5 Deluxe hotels and quite simple apartments.

Pissouri - located between Paphos and Limasol. The resort can be called very young, but quickly developing lately. You can still feel the entire Cypriot flavor, which remains, alas, very little. Rest here is extremely calm and measured. Perhaps it is good to come here to newlyweds, families with children, elderly tourists. Beaches in sisuri sandstone.
