I visited Ayia Napa last summer for a holiday. It was a real treat for me, because we have very little sand and sun where I am from. I loved the hot weather of Ayia Napa, as well as the nightlife attractions. We went to the water park most days, and it was such a relief from the sun. They had so many water slides that it was difficult to choose which one I wanted to ride on first. Other days we relaxed on Nissi Beach, or hung out at our resort. There was a swim-up style pool bar at our hotel, so we were never lacking a drink in our hand. At night, we made good use of the clubbing scene. We tried to visit each club, but there are just so many! My favorite was the Castle club. The night that I visited there was a foam party. This is an experience like never before! Make sure that you wear clothes that you do not mind messing up because of the foam. Overall, I will definitely be back.

This past summer was my 3rd time visiting Ayia Napa. I always stay for 3 or more weeks when I visit, so I rented a great condo in a popular location. I only had to walk 5 minutes to get to the beach, which is where I was most of the time. The centre of Ayia Napa, which all of the locals call ‘the Square’, was only 2 minutes from my condo. By day, I relaxed on Nissi Beach. This is where most of the tourists my age were at. There are plenty of café’s and such around the beach so you will never be hungry or thirsty for long. At night, I loved the Bazaar Bar. I met a lot of people my age and the bartender was talented with the drinks. The Black & White bar is a must see, as well as the Gas Club. If you want an exciting holiday, you’ve got to get out there and stay active, or else you will not be able to see all that the village has to offer!

I stayed in Ayia Napa for one week, and it was my first time on the island. The people are very friendly, both the locals and the other tourists. I met so many people while I was visiting, and I have remained in contact with most of them. My favorite bar was the Scandinavian Bar, and I frequently visited the River Reggae Club. They had the best DJ, and he is also well known in other areas of Europe. I will most remember the awesome parties, the nightlife of the square, and the great food when I think about Ayia Napa. It is a small village, much smaller than I expected. But there are more bars, clubs, and restaurants in one space than I have ever seen before. The beach weather was warm and sunny, especially Nissi Beach. If you are young like me, then that is the beach to go to. My hotel that I stayed at had a sandy volley ball court, which is where I was most of the time, and I also took a scuba diving day excursion.

Me and my friend stayed in Ayia Napa for 2 weeks. We were able to rent a condo at a great location. This being our first time in Ayia Napa, we had heard how exciting the nightlife was, but we had no idea how many clubs there were...! It was hard to choose which one to go to first! There were always promo people who sponsor the clubs in the Square during the day, handing out coupons to get in free. Stay away from the guys promoting a beer cruise or a party. It is a load of rubbish. We loved the Volt Bar, where we made a ton of friends. The Ice Club was also pretty cool, as well as the Gas Club. During the day, we frequented Nissi Beach, which must be where all of the younger people go. There were very little families on the beach, just teenagers and younger adults. We stayed out on the beach all day, and had no need to bring our own food or drinks. There were plenty of little café’s near the beach if you needed anything. The shopping opportunities were also endless and I picked up a bunch of great souvenirs to bring home."

Ayia Napa was amazing! The pictures that I viewed before going on the trip did not do it justice. I was only able to stay for 2 weeks, and the time flew by. I stayed in a great resort, which was right on the water front, with amazing views of the sea. My hotel had all of the amenities, swimming pools, restaurant, and bar, so I rarely had to leave. However, when I did, I loved visiting the Bazaar Bar. The drinks there were delicious. I also recommend the Ice Club. It was an experience like never before! During the day, I hung out on Nissi Beach. There were tons of people my age relaxing and just enjoying the summer sun. While I do not recommend this area for families with young kids, Ayia Napa is a paradise for people who enjoy endless clubbing and bars. I was able to get into all of the clubs free because the promo people gave me coupons.

Went to Ayia Napa with my lads for 1 week. We had so much fun that we are already planning another trip for this summer! The day attractions were awesome, with Nissi Beach, scuba diving, and bungee jumping. I have never seen water so clear while still being a beautiful shade of turquoise. I will never forget how friendly the people were in the village. Not only did I meet tourists, but also locals. I was amazed at how well their English was. The drivers in the area were a little crazy but we stayed off of the roads most of the time anyways. The P’’Zazz club was awesome and they always had the best music playing. The Titanic Bar also had the best drinks and the wildest tourists. We were always able to find free pass coupons from promo staff representing the clubs so we rarely had to pay for admission.

This past summer was my 3rd time visiting Ayia Napa. The first two times I came with my parents so I was not really able to enjoy the overall clubbing scene that Ayia Napa is so well known for. This time I made the best of it and came with some friends. We tried to visit all of the clubs, but there were too many. The ones that we did visit we were very impressed with. Each one was unique and I have never had such an experience! Marinellas Bar was a great place to get the night started. We then went to the Castle Club, which is the largest and most popular in the area. The Black & White Club was also really neat. I will not forget how friendly the natives were, as well as the tourists. There were no bad vibes and all of the clubbers were well mannered. Everyone was just there to have a great time and dance the night away. By day, we relaxed on Nissi Beach, which is the most hopping spot if you want to meet other young people your age. "

If you are looking for a vacation spot with lots of sunshine and miles of beaches, then Ayia Napa is the perfect place. The area is more targeted for younger adults and teenagers, with tons of bars and clubs. At night, we were never bored or out of things to do. We also never had to worry about paying to get into the clubs, with people always handing out free admission passes around the beach and the square. I loved the Bazaar Bar, they had the best cocktails! The Fluid Club was amazing, and there was an indoor swimming pool inside of the club. You should also check out the Black & White Club. Make sure that you pack plenty of 70s and 80s style clothing. Almost everyone was dressed in this style at the Black & White Club. You can also purchase wigs and cool sunglasses from the store inside of the club. I will never forget how nice everyone was and I am already planning a trip back!
