KONNOS BAY

Situated about half way from both Protaras and Ayia Napa, Konnos is one of those idyllic bays at the bottom of a windy road, skirted with pines and acacias … it is one of the best beaches you can ever have the pleasure to visit … the waters are crystal clear, shallow and calm, protected by the cape just to the west … and naturally providing some of the best ski waters in Cyprus …

Mike’s watersports  they also provide jet ski’s, fly boarding, banana rides, boat hire and the yellow sunbeds that double up as a float …

A quaint cafe sits nonchalantly up on the rocks, covered by trees to provide a perfect retreat from the heat while you enjoy a coffee, snacks or a delicious ice cream … whilst the awesome five star Grecian Park Hotel sits proudly high up on the cliff with stunning views overlooking the bay, and with Spartiatis fish restaurant providing one of the best fish meze in Cyprus adjacent, and the brilliant Cape Bar, providing a peaceful family atmosphere and tasty finger snacks … and there’s a wonderful Italian restaurant …

If you fancy a walk, head south west along the coast through the mini forest and you’ll arrive at a fantastic picnic area and Ayia Anargyroi, the little white church on the peninsular and below it the sacred caves … more of a trek, than a walk and you’ll see a phenomenal natural stone bridge and nearby Cape Greco the flat top mount, where sun set watching is just wonderful …

At midnight, during full moon here, you can stand chest deep in the water and still see your toes and phosphorous swimming around your feet, romantic or what? … This beach and national park surrounding this area is a must visit and don’t forget your camera …
