Beaches within the District of Famagusta are considered by many to be the best on the island, and Ayia Napa’s Nissi Beach is considered to be one of the best beaches in Europe. Consistently gaining accreditations and distinctions, they hold leading positions in several surveys. They are also recognised by several online platforms that offer impartial reviews. 

Known for its clear turquoise waters and white sands, Ayia Napa’s Blue Flag-designated Nissi Beach constantly gains several awards and accolades each year. It also receives top honours from Europe’s Beach Index. This helps to enhance its claim to being one of the best beaches in Europe.

Europe’s Beach Index is designed to help holidaymakers and tourists choose their ideal beach holiday destination. It ranks beaches throughout Europe and acts as an impartial guide for people who are particularly focused on beaches. Its results are based on positive reviews, affordability, overall water quality, cleanliness, temperatures, and wave height. 

Online platforms also help to shape overall tourism in Cyprus. As a result, the island of love remains at the forefront of visitor choice when they are looking for a beach holiday destination. Local municipalities across Cyprus have also recognised this, and in recent years, they have been campaigning to rid beaches of excessive plastic pollution. Encouraging regular clean-up campaigns, they have helped keep their beaches in pristine condition.
