Napa Plaza Hotel, Ayia Napa

Advantages: Weather, Clubbing, food, friendly
Disadvantages: can be quite expensive in certain places

...When two of my friends decided to get married (to each other) in Ayia Napa Cyprus last year (September 2003) I jumped at the chance for a two week break away with them and 50 others to share in their big day. As someone who thought Ibiza was the clubbing capital Ayia Napa never really appealed to me, my two weeks there changed my mind completely. Hotel We actually stayed outside Ayia Napa in Nissi Bay, at an apartment complex called ‘Stavrolia’ (Nissi Bay is about a three minute taxi ride or twenty minute stroll from Ayia Napa) the apartments were very clean and spacious and the cleaners were regular and through in their duties, there were balconies in every apartment (two in mine).

...what they want!] However during the day there is a bus that runs all the way through Ayia Napa at 70c per journey! This also runs from Paralimini----> Ayia Napa waterpark for the same price! BARGIN! Water world is a must! Its Europes largest THEMED water park and has a wide variety of slides/pools and is great for a family day out, or if you just want to cool down somewhere other than the beach or pool. Cost to get in is approx £14-£16 cypriote, however vouchers for money off are available from reps, hotels, taxis etc and are worth getting!
