Ayia Napa, Cyprus

Nissi beach

Cliff jumping! I jumped 3 times!

Sunset view from our kitchen window

Caught a glimpse of the magnificent sea caves from the glass bottom boat!

I'm back with a little update of my week on Cyprus with Helen. The week on Cyprus has been one of the hottest of my life! The temperature on Cyprus in mid-August isn't exactly ideal for some people to cope with. The temperature in the shade is probably around 35-38°C (but feels a lot hotter because of the humidity) and circa 40-45°C in the blaring hot sun! But since we laid out by the sea every single day, with a nice breeze every so often, we managed!
Ayia Napa, pronounced Aya Napa, is situated in the south-eastern coast of Cyprus in the Greek part. Even though it is technically "Greek," with the inhabitants speaking and eating Greek, I still felt like I was in a different country entirely.
The beaches we went to were pretty damn beautiful! Nissi beach especially. In the six days we were there we managed to go to 4 beaches in total; Grecian Bay, Sandy bay, Nissi beach and one more, but I have sadly forgotten the name of it... how embarrassing!
Our days consisted of cycling to the beaches, swimming in the luke warm, crystal clear water, burning, tanning, eating delicious food (!!), laughing, napping, reading, drinking many liters of water and iced tea and cliff jumping!! We also managed to squeeze in a trip on a glass bottom boat  and rent a moped, which we drove up to Fig Tree Bay and visited the beach that I've forgotten the name of. Of course we can't forget the most important part: souvenir shopping! Of course I bought a magnet for my collection, among a few other trinkets and Helen purchased a snow globe with a donkey in it.
