Family holidays Cyprus

If you want to spend your holiday with your family in a sunny and glamorous country, then try a family holiday to Cyprus. The Agina Napa resort is well supplied with facilities for keeping even the most demanding children amused. There are kamikaze slides, river tube rides and rolling logs at WaterWorld WaterPark, while Dinosaur Park has models of prehistoric creatures, complete with sounds. The Thalassa Municipal Museum of Marine Life shows the wide variety of marine life around Cyprus’s coast.

The Salt Lake in Akrotiri Peninsula dries out to a muddy salt flat in summer and in winter its shallow waters are visited by pink flamingos. Nearby, Kolossi Castle was once the base of the Knights Templar, so it’s a great place for pretending to be a gallant knight or a distressed maiden.

Governor’s Beach, east of Lemesos, has some amazing black sand that is perfect for building some unusual sandcastles, as well as soaking up the sun, of course! Lemesos also boasts a small zoo, which is in the Municipal Gardens.

On your family holiday in Cyprus you can see exotic toucans, eagles, giraffes and reptiles, plus parrot, owl and seal shows daily, at Pafos Bird and Animal Park. Free transfers area available from the main resorts.
