The beach boasts of pristine turquoise water and powdery white sand, making it one of the most exquisite beaches I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The beauty of this place is indescribable, and it is something that must be experienced firsthand. During my visit, the beach was relatively quiet, but I suspect it can get quite crowded during peak season in July and August. The cost of renting two sun beds and an umbrella is only 7.50€, which is a reasonable price compared to other countries where similar services can cost up to 30€.

The beach in question is a beloved destination amongst tourists in Cyprus, boasting a stunningly vibrant hue of the sea. It is worth noting that the beach is on the smaller side, so early birds will have the upper hand in securing a spot on the sunbeds. While there is only one shop on the beach, it is noticeably pricey. However, visitors need not fret as there is a beautiful beach bar, spa center and hotel nearby, perfect for unwinding after a day spent soaking up the sun.

The beach is decent enough, I suppose. The fact that they offer free toilets and showers is a small consolation, but it doesn't make up for the lackluster experience. Sure, you can rent an umbrella and sunbed, but it's not like they're doing you any favors with their "cheap" prices. As for the snorkeling and swimming, it's nothing to write home about. All in all, a pretty underwhelming beach.

This so-called beach is a mere speck compared to the grandeur of Nissiana beach. However, I must admit that it is surprisingly tidy. Don't expect any free lounging here though, as each sunbed will set you back a hefty 3.5 euros. And while there are a few dining options in the vicinity, they are nothing to write home about.

This beach is absolutely stunning! The golden sand is simply breathtaking and sets the perfect stage for a day of relaxation and fun. If you're looking to take it easy, you can lounge in one of the beach chairs or umbrellas available for rent. But if you're feeling adventurous, there are plenty of water activities to choose from, including jet ski rentals. And when you need a break, you can head over to the beach bar for a refreshing drink or tasty snack. Just be sure to arrive early, as parking can be limited. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to soak up some sun and enjoy the beauty of nature.
