Cyprus - About 15 years ago, Agia Napa was nothing more than a village with fishing as its main source of income. Now, Agia Napa is a popular holiday destination for both foreigners and Cypriots themselves. Many hotels have been built in a short time, which has come at the expense of the landscape. This large, elongated seaside resort is characterized by many bars and clubs with striking neon lighting. Also notable is the large number of fast-food chains established in Ayia Napa. In addition, Ayia Napa has the most beautiful sandy beaches in all of Cyprus, where various water sports facilities are offered. Nissi Beach is considered the best-known beach. All this makes Ayia Napa, especially among young people, a popular holiday destination. What Ayia Napa is known for is its nightlife. Due to the large number of young people who come here to party, the many clubs, the numerous performances by international DJs, and the relatively high prices in nightlife, Ayia Napa has earned the nickname "the second Ibiza." However, do not expect to find a typical Cypriot setting here; for that, you really have to go to other places.
