IN DOOR BAR BE AC HE S Aphrodite Lounge Bar; why go anywhere else! As an island, the coast of Cyprus should be one long set of interconnected beaches. This is true from Ayia Napa to the Akamas along the southern coast, with numerous beaches, each better than the next. Some of the more popular beaches are listed below. Our city, Limassol, is not only known for its delectable cuisine, its history and attractions. It is also famous for its clubs, bars and coffee shops. This is where we introduce our Aphrodite Lounge bar! Recommended Beaches in Cyprus The Aphrodite experience One of the best spots, Aphrodite Bar offers the ideal setting from morning coffee to late night exotic cocktails. Located in the beautiful city of Limassol, within the premises of the luxurious five-star hotel, the Lounge is open to both residents and non-residents of the hotel who can enjoy their drinks with incredible panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. You could go to a coffee shop for coffee, or a bar for a quick drink, but why spend time moving around, when you can relax here. Our goal is to serve the best to savor 1 2 3 Nissi Beach is a promi- nent beach in the prov- ince of Ayia Napa, but belongs to Famagusta district. The beach stretches out 500 me- tres with crystal clear water, which is surpris- ingly shallow, reach- ing only waist height. The water sports best suited to this beach are windsurfing, pedal boating, water-skiing, paragliding, ringo rides and banana boats. In the Ayia Napa tradi- tion, Nissi beach is a very popular attraction for the younger genera- tion, and beach parties with music programmes run throughout sum- mer. Weekends see beach and foam parties with loud music and famous DJ’s. The magnificent sands of Konnos Bay ap- pear out of nowhere as you exit the greenery of Cavo Greko, Ayia Napa. This bay, which is considered to be one of the most scenic beaches in Cyprus, is horseshoe shaped with fine golden sand for about 200 metres. It has perfect swimming conditions, especially for children, as there are no waves at all. Many different types of watersports can be found here as well. Whether you’re star- ing out at the dazzling view, lazing on the sand or enjoying a cool drink at the hillside café that looks out to sea, this stunner is un- forgettable. Mackenzie beach, just off Larnaca bay, is a kilometer-long flat beach, eminently suit- able for families with children. This Blue Flag beach is usually calm, given its shel- tered position, with its shelf dropping below waist height after some 50 metres. Water sports include jet skis, speed boats, water skiing and wind- surfing. Diving is also possible at the Zenobia shipwreck. Bikini clad fashionistas sipping on mojitos and tap- ping their feet to house beats intermingle with a horde of muscular young men sipping on their frappes at the res- taurants, including fish tavernas, in the area.

Nothing says summer like a classic Mojito cocktail, a simple but delicious combo of white rum, lime, mint leaves, brown sugar and soda. Our professional bartenders will give outlet to their creativity and will add mint leaves and lime wedges to garnish with yerba Buena or mint springs. 24 Daiquiri Say yes to Daiquiri The classic daiquiri a trio of rum, sug- ar, and lime, possesses the unique virtue of always being the right answer. Wheth- er as your first drink of the night or the third, on the beach or in the hotel room, it never ceases to gratify and enchant. If you wish to fruit it up then a Strawberry Daiquiri would be a nice option for you. Pina Colada The real deal The pina colada is a sweet cocktail made with rum, coconut cream or coco- nut milk, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice. Try the real deal!
