Paphos
Family holidays in Paphos serve up heaps of history (the ancient Tombs of the Kings, Paphos Archaeological Park and Paphos Castle to name a few), a generous stretch of sandy shoreline (Coral Bay) and lots of kid-friendly restaurants, especially along Paphos's promenade. There’s a good selection of shops here, too.
Ayia Napa
With a choice of sandy beaches, cultural day trips and a giant waterpark (WaterWorld), Ayia Napa has family activities well and truly covered. Spend your days on Nissi Beach, see the Sculpture Park’s quirky statues and take a glass-bottomed boat to the Blue Lagoon off Cape Greco Peninsula.
Protaras
Known for its crystal-clear waters and Blue Flag beaches like Fig Tree Bay – perfect for swimming and snorkelling in – Protaras is one of Cyprus’s prime family holiday destinations. Go on boat trips, explore sea caves and visit the Ocean Aquarium. You’ll find plenty of family resorts with kid-friendly facilities here, while villas offer welcome privacy.
