Water Sports in Cyprus - Part 2

To continue on with last weeks post we’d thought we’d bring you some more water sports activities that are available throughout Cyprus. These include sailing, swimming, water skiing, and windsurfing. There are a variety of locations where you will be able to do these activities such as, Larnaca, Limassol, Ayia Napa, and Protaras.

Sailing

Skippered yachts can be chartered from island marinas (Larnaca and Limassol are the main centres) by the day or for longer cruises and smaller dinghies; and catamarans are available by the day or half-day from beaches around Ayia Napa, Protaras, Limassol and Lakki.

Swimming

Cyprus's sea is sparklingly clean and crystal clear making it ideal for swimming. Most beaches have lifeguards on duty in high season, but look out for red flags, which mean bathing is inadvisable at that time because of high waves or strong currents. Most holiday villas have a large outdoor pool which can be used most of the year round.

Water Skiing

Limassol, Larnaca and Ayia Napa are the best spots for water skiing, for beginners as well as for experts, because the sea tends to be calmer at these spots. There are dozens of competing water-ski outfits at each resort that will supply all the gear and take you out on the water, so look around for the best price.

Wind Surfing

Ayia Napa and Protaras have the best windsurfing conditions, but boards can be rented by the hour, half-day or day at all the island's resort hotels and public beaches. The best time of day for windsurfing is often mid to late afternoon, when a light breeze usually springs up.
