Great Days Out and About Beaches The Northern part of the island is renowned for its beautiful unspoilt beaches with crystal clear waters and powder-like sand. The shallow fetch makes these ideal for families with young children or for the more adventurous, some of the beaches offer snorkeling and scuba diving. There are half-a-dozen beautiful beaches near the villa. The Karpas Head off north of the villa and within and hour's drive you will arrive at the Karpas peninsula - an area which is sparsely inhabited and has some of the most virgin beaches on the island. This area is an official natural reserve and is home to the Green Turtle - an extinct species of turtle which can now only be found in a small number of places around the world. On your journey to the Karpas, you can come across the native donkeys who freely roam this area and are real treat for the children to see! Waterworld Park An award-winning water park, just 20 minutes across the border on the Greek Cypriot side (40 minutes from the villa), AgyaNapa's Waterworld Park is a great day out for the whole family. Set in beautiful surroundings with ancient columns and statues, palm trees and landscaping, there are over 17 rides to go on or just relax on a ride around the lazy river. Other Activities There are other water parks also on the North side of the island, as well as snorkeling, scuba diving, go-karting and other fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. All of these are listed in the Guest Information pack at the Villa. |
