Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa, Cyprus

Beach

Nissi Beach is a well-known beach in the resort of Ayia Napa, Cyprus.

The beach stretches for 500 metres and the water is clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation.[1] The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the small islet of Nissi (Greek: Νησί) located close to the coast. The uninhabited islet can be easily reached on foot through the shallow waters and its location provides a good shelter for the rest of the beach. The islet is covered with low-level local vegetation.
