My top 3 Ayia Napa secrets
Hello! My freinds back in the UK often refer to me as Mister Napa.
Nissi Beach
The reason? Because I previously ran an ice cream bar in Ayia Napa.
I chose Ayia Napa because it is the most lively holiday resort in Cyprus. When I say “lively”, other people say “drunken and rowdy.” But that’s just the few bar streets in the months of July and August. The rest of the year the resort is pretty pretty quiet. Ayia Napa is also used by pensioners and families with children, so no worries.
My life as an ice cream bar owner in Ayia Napa has learned me three important things.
1. You only have to be 17 years old to buy beer in Cyprus, hence the Swedish girls populate the place
The not so strict alcohol laws in Cyprus (compared to rest of Europe) makes it a popular place for teenagers to drink and have fun during the summer. That’s probably why we see so many young Scandinavian people here.
Most of them prefer vanilla and lemon ice creams.
2. The Russians are everywhere
You may not see so many Russians in Ayia Napa, but their money is helping out running several restaurants and night clubs. And a few strip joints as well. If you go to a strip club in Ayia Napa you will always lose more money than you think (Important lesson learned for me).
Note to myself: I prefer a White Russian now and then, haha!
3. Tired of the music at Nissi Beach? Walk 500 metres and go to Golden Beach.
If you are staying in Napa for 14 days you will get tired of the constant loud music at Nissi, I advise my friends to head over to the neighbour beach of Golden beach for some relaxation in the sand.
So long my friend! Have a nice stay in Napa!
