Nissi Beach Ayia Napa is the most popular, most popular, most crowded beach. Nissi Beach is really good, but if you look at the water and the quality of the sand, then Makronisos, for example, the beach is no worse. The only thing that distinguishes Nissi Beach (Cyprus) from all other beaches is its size coastline and beach discos.

Nissi Beach Ayia Napa: description

The sand on Nissi Beach (Cyprus) is white, fine, with fragments of shells. There are trash cans everywhere, everything is clean, you can see that they are cleaning it. The entrance to the sea is gentle, shallow everywhere, even if you go far, it will be waist-deep. Sometimes on Nissi Beach Ayia Napa brings green algae from the sea, there is not even much nice photos that are shared on social networks. But everything is quickly removed. You swim and see only rare colored seaweeds. By the way, this is exactly the seaweed from which body wraps are made in beauty salons. So you can safely do the wraps, not right on the beach, but you can take them with you to your room.

Photo Nissi Beach: island

The island can be reached on foot up to your knees. There is a small cape there, people scurry back and forth constantly, like a folk trail.

At the top of the cliff, people are jumping into the water, the height is 8 meters.

On the other side of the bay there are rocks, it is impossible to walk there barefoot, you need slippers. There are a lot of small fish in the water, people dive there with a mask. But the rocks are very sharp, there is no sand there anymore. It is immediately clear that the sand on Nissi Beach Ayia Napa was brought. And the rocks - this is the real real Cyprus.

The water is incredibly clear, reflecting the sun's rays. Very very beautiful. This makes great photos. There are no waves at all, because the bay is almost closed by rocks and an island.

The most expensive tour to Nissi Beach Ayia Napa in the presidential suite is sold for 600,000 rubles. Not weak, however. Although you can buy a last-minute tour for 30,000 rubles if you try. But no matter what the hotel, the beach is public and the same for everyone. The sea and the sun are also the same for everyone.


Location

Nissi Beach Ayia Napa is located a little far from the center. Walk along Nissi Avenue for 3.5 km in a straight line. Bar Street is 4 km away. But buses 101 and 102 go to the center, even at night. During the day, travel costs 1.5 euros, and at night 2.5 euros.


The only thing is that the buses do not run from 4.30 to 7 am. We once had such a spree in Protaras that there were no more buses. I had to take a taxi for 18 euros (the ride was 6 km!). And we were still bargaining. At first they said 25 euros. There are large taxis from Nissi Beach (Cyprus) offering to take you to Ayia Napa for 2 euros per person if there are 4 passengers. That is 8 euros per car. There are generally large taxis, minivans and limousine taxis everywhere to transport large groups.

If you have a car or an ATV, you can drive from the center of Ayia Napa in 5-7 minutes. There are free parking spaces in the morning, but later it is more difficult to find a space. By the way, parking is free. Our rented Nissan Note is in the middle.

What's nearby

From Nissi Beach Ayia Napa you can walk to the left, looking at the sea, to Sandy Bay Beach, and in the other direction to Latchi. There are fewer people there, but along the path from one beach to the other a snake crawled across my path. The impressions are somehow not very good, but what can you do, it’s nature. It's good that there are no snakes in the sea.

In general, if you walk along the sea, you can walk along the beach to the center to the Ayia Napa pier. A leisurely walk will take an hour. There are walking paths everywhere and you can walk all the beaches. And I see people walking, walking, not everyone takes taxis and cars, like I usually do. 🙂

Nissi Beach: reviews

In my opinion, Nissi Beach (Ayia Napa) is good, but these crowds of people are just like the Vykhino metro station at rush hour. You can hear Russian speech all around, you feel like you are in Gelendzhik. The water and the color of the water are super! It’s worth coming here, but I definitely wouldn’t be able to hang out every day.


Nissi Beach (NissiBeach) located at the very beginning of the Cypriot resort of Ayia Napa, 2 km from the city center.

Tour operators most often offer hotels near Nissi Beach to young people and companies who love noisy parties.

We visited Nissi Beach in different time of the year: in season - August and off-season - November.

Our review of the beach. Is it worth going?

Entering the water, depth and waves

Nissi Beach is medium in size, 600 m long and about 30 m wide.

There are almost never waves here, because... the beach is located in a bay, and the waves are blocked by an island, which at low tide can be reached along a sandbank (at high tide you can also walk to the island, but the water will already be above your waist).

On the island there is a path along which you can climb to the very top. Daredevils jump from there into the water. When going to the island, take flip-flops with you, because even though there is a well-trodden path there, there are pebbles and thorns.

The bottom near the beach is very shallow, so the water here is the warmest compared to all the beaches of Cyprus. The sea here warms up very quickly and cools down slowly.

Bathe You can visit Nissi Beach from May to November. Although seasoned holidaymakers swim in Cyprus all year round, because... the water cools down to a maximum of +16 degrees.

The island is close, along the path you can climb to the very top

Vegetation on the beach

There are practically no trees on the beach; grass grows only in the private area of ​​the bungalows of the Nissi Hotel Beach Resort.

Therefore, if you like to sunbathe in the shade of trees, then this will not happen here, only under an umbrella.

There are small bushes on the wild, unequipped part of the beach (on the right side of the beach, when looking at the sea).

Fun on the beach

On the beach there is a volleyball court, a diving center, aquatic species sports.

Well, of course, the main difference between Nissi Beach and other beaches in Ayia Napa is the constantly loud music, discos and foam parties. Discos and competitions are held only during the season from mid-May to October.

Foam parties are held every week: on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Beach congestion

During the season (from May to October) there are a lot of people, so it’s better to arrive early in the morning.

In the off-season (from November to April) there are vacationers, but not many. You can come with children, the music still plays, but not so loud.


There were so many vacationers on Nissi Beach at the end of August (about 11 a.m. in the morning)

On foot:

You can get from the city center to the beach on foot, but it will take time. For example:

if you follow the path along the sea, from the port of Ayia Napa, it will take 50 minutes,

past the road and through vacant lots - 30 minutes.

By bus:

By bus the journey takes only 10 minutes, but during the season, public transport is very overloaded. Buses make many stops, at which new passengers constantly board.

No. 101 (going in the opposite direction).

By taxi:

Nissi Beach or Nissi Beach is a beautiful sandy (white fine sand imported) beach with crystal clear water. It got its name thanks to a small rocky island located fifty meters from the coast. Νησί - Nissi - translated from Greek - island. The beach occupies 600 meters of the bay coast, sheltered from the sea by a small island. On the shore there is volleyball courts, an extensive area of ​​cafes, bars and restaurants.

East End Nissi is calmer. To the west is the Nissi Bay beach bar. Live music plays here every day from 12.00 to 19.00, and there are often foam shows. A sand spit stretches from the western edge of the beach to the island. The island itself is small and rocky. On the landward side there is small beach, near which a water entertainment base has settled.

There are also small pretty grottoes in the rocks on the eastern side of the island. Next to the grottoes there is a small rock, 6 - 8 meters, from which it is convenient to jump into the water. The modern name for this action is cliff diving.

Nissi Beach has become famous thanks to the parties and discos that have been held here since 2001. During the day, the beach lives the usual resort life. People soak up the sun and swim in the shallow bay, scuba dive and water ski.

When the sun sets, almost all local residents flock here to sit in a restaurant, enjoy the sunset, drink a glass of wine or a glass of beer, and gossip about everyday problems.
