4 FOR THE ACTIVE...
Stavros Watersports...
Have a favorite water-bound activity? Chances are,
Stavros Watersports on Fig Tree Bay can outfit you
for it. Skim over the Bay’s clear water on a jet ski,
speed boat, water ski or inflatable, or fly above it
on a parasail or wakeboard. Or go a less heartpounding route and charter a fishing boat or rent
a kayak.
The team at Stavros is not lacking in personality—
be nice to cheeky
Costa as he’s
been known to
dip patrons in
the water not let
them re-board
the boat, leaving
them no option
but to swim back
to shore!
Nature Trails...
Be
sure
to
bring
solid
walking
shoes
to Cyprus. The
cliff-top
walks
at Cape Greco
National Forest
Park, which put
you high above the Mediterranean, are not to be
missed. From this distanced vantage point, you can
really take in the sea’s gradient, Technicolor hues.
Also make time at Cape Greco to explore sea caves,
tuck into the pines for a nature walk, and visit the
bleach-white chapel of Ayios Anaryroi. From the
chapel, walk down a set of stairs to Holy Cave for an
unbeatable photo op. For a workout, ascend 200+
stairs to St. Elias. You'll feel like an Olympian when
you reach the top, where a stunning vista awaits.
Snorkeling at Fig Tree Bay...
Grab your snorkel and head to Fig Tree Bay (or stop
by after an adventure at Stavros Watersports), one
of TripAdvisor’s best-rated beaches.
Swim out to the rocks with your snorkel gear, put
your kids on inflatable lilos (airbeds) and have some
bread ready to toss to the fish and other aquatic
life—this ensures you’ll get to observe a crowd of
them.
Fig Tree Bay and
its beach can be
quite populated
in the summer
months, so plan
to arrive early if
you want a prime
sunbathing spot
on the golden
sand.
The Waterpark...
Open April to
September, when
the mild weather
of Cyprus is at its
mildest,
Water
World in Ayia
Napa makes for
a
kid-friendly
day amidst mythology-themed water rides. Tackle
“The Fall of Icarus,” “Apollo’s Plunge,” and the becolumned “Drop to Atlantis.” For a more leisurely
time, float on the River Odyssey or cool off in
Poseidon’s Pool.
Be sure to bring socks to the park in July/August, as
the metal stairs leading to the water rides heat up in
and can be uncomfortable for sensitive feet.
Let us book your day at Water World for you and
we’ll get you a special rate!
