Latest reviews on Cyprus's beaches

Aphrodite Resort beach
10 Jett

We only went to check out the new wellness projects nearby and ended up purchasing two apartments. This complex is going to be stunning - it's clean, surrounded by greenery, right by the sea, and peaceful, with all the amenities one could ask for.

Koulla's beach
10 K-Win

This place is perfect for grabbing a coffee, sandwich, and fresh juice. We had some delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. You place your order at the counter. The view is absolutely stunning and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing. You can see the endless sea from here and feel a refreshing breeze.

Salamis beach
10 Anthony Mason

The staff at the beach were nice and helpful, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was laid-back and unpretentious, without any unnecessary complications.

Ttakka beach
4 Jasmine Kenna

This beach is just like any other. The water is lukewarm and unremarkable. The taverna is nothing special either. It's just a run-of-the-mill spot that caters to tourists looking for a quick bite. Don't waste your time here, there are much better beaches out there.

Bogaz beach
10 Selim Yıldız

When you visit this beach, you'll feel like time has stood still. The refreshing Mediterranean breeze, infused with the scent of moss, creates an enchanting atmosphere where the waves eagerly embrace the shore. It's not something you can simply know, you have to experience it for yourself!

Kotsias beach
2 Yuvan

The beach has a ton of plastic waste scattered all over, but it's worth noting that the sand is a unique shade of brown.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 80 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
