What to do in Glapsides beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Glapsides beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Glapsides beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

After a refreshing rainfall, the beach appears crystal clear and pristine. The water is warm and inviting and the sand feels like fine powder sugar between your toes. A restaurant on the beach serves up delicious fish, calamari, and salads, with impeccable service and reasonable prices. You can rent two sun beds for just 1€, and enjoy a meal for two for only 25€. Taxis are readily available for a mere 3€, making transportation a breeze. The locals in Magusa are incredibly friendly and polite, making you feel right at home. The city is safe and peaceful, allowing you to take leisurely strolls at any time of day or night. Banks are easily accessible, and both euros and Turkish lira are widely accepted. This beach and city come highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

This beach is really nice and has plenty of sun beds. It's quite long and there are a couple of restaurants/bars where you can grab a drink. It's also great for kids because the water is shallow for a good distance before it gets deeper. You can even find some water sports providers there if you're into that kind of thing. Overall, I definitely recommend this beach.

This beach is simply divine! Strolling along the sandy shores is an absolute breeze, thanks to the well-maintained wooden paths leading to the two delightful restaurants nestled on the beach. And if you're a parent, you'll be thrilled to know that this beach is pram-friendly, making it a great spot for a family day out. Plus, the beach is always kept spick and span, so you can relax and soak up the sun without a care in the world. Trust me, you won't want to leave this slice of paradise!

This beach in Cyprus is truly a gem. The organization of the beach is top-notch, making it a pleasure to visit. The lack of crowds makes for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The sand is soft and the water is crystal clear with a stunning transparency. The sunbeds are reasonably priced at 10tl, and the free showers and toilets nearby are a convenient addition. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a serene and enjoyable beach experience.
