Nissi Beach Vacation & Travel Guide
Nissi Beach is a world-famous beach located in Ayia Napa, in the Famagusta district of Cyprus. It is a crescent-shaped beach approximately 1.5 km long and is well known for its clear turquoise waters, white sand, and lively nightlife. It is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, windsurfing, jet skiing, and other water sports.
The beach is one of Cyprus's most popular tourist destinations, with hundreds of thousands of people visiting the beach, especially during the summer season, and has been described as 'the capital of nightlife in Cyprus.
Nissi Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, a certification awarded to beaches and marinas worldwide that meet the stringent standards of the Foundation for Environmental Education. It has also been awarded the EU Quality Coast Award.
The beach has white sand that is perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. Palm trees are abundant, and a long boardwalk is ideal for walking or jogging.
Nissi Beach is a secluded beach on the northeast coast of the Republic of Cyprus. The beach is accessible by foot from the village of Agios Georgios on the Akamas peninsula.
Nissi is an island in Greek, and Nissi Beach got its name from a small island 50 meters from the coast, which is connected to the beach by a narrow spit along which you can walk. There is nothing on the island, stones, and thickets of cacti, but the view is magnificent. Of course, you can feel the relative seclusion here compared to the Nissi beach hangout. Beautiful photos can be taken from the island, especially at sunrise or before sunset.
