Watersports in Cyprus

The Beaches of Cyprus are fun places for the whole family. Sunbathing , volleyball and all kinds of watersports are available to keep you entertained . the numerous attractions include snorkelling, diving, windsurfing , waterskiing and sailing . sea breezes moderate the high temperatures , and the clear water is ideal for swimming. There is no shortage of places to hire equipment, allowing you to practise even the most ambitious watersports ot take a scuba-diving course.

There is plenty to see underwater, even within a few metres of the shore if you are a beginner at this sport. The shallows teem with tiny fish, sea anenomes and urchins clinging to the rocks .

İf if you’re lucky, you may even see an octopus slither past.

İt’s well worth heading out to the more rocky shores where there  is more to see than  on the sandy bottom. One of the best places for snorkelling is the north coast of the Akamas peninsula, where rocky coves and tiny offshore islands abound in a variety of sealife.

Many hotels hire our snorkelling equipment. You can also buy masks with snorkels  and flippers at local sports shops these do not cost much. İt is prohibited to collect sponges or any archaeological items found on the seabed.

Almost all the beaches run courses for windsurfing. The gentle afternoon breezes may not meet the expectations of the more competitive windsurfers. The best winds blow around the capes between Agia Napa and Protaras, and in the region of Paphos . Kkiteboarding  which involves being towed at high speeds by a giant parachutelike kite , is starting to catch on in Agia Napa.
