MARINE SPORTS

Cyprus is truly an ideal place for water sports. With the very hot summers and beautiful beaches that can be reached from any point of the island in less than an hour, it’s water sports fanatics’ paradise on earth!!!

There are hundreds of water sport companies all over Cyprus with instructors that are more than willing to give lessons to beginners in, sailing, paragliding, water-skiing, jet-skiing and windsurfing. Unfortunately, these sports are not too cheap on the island, but they’re definitely worth the adventure.

Paragliding may appear to be extremely risky, but it’s certainly worth a try in order to be have the ability to capture the magnificent view of the crowded beaches and crystal blue waters from a great height.

Two of the most popular sports due to the crystal-clear waters and rough coastline are snorkelling and scuba-diving. There are thousands of striking colourful fish and sea shells in the depths of the sea that capture the interest of divers. Fortunately, sharks don’t pay regular visits to the island’s waters.

Sporting zones

The core marine sports locations on the island are: Agia Napa-Protaras; along the Larnaka Bay; around Limassol and Lady’s Mile Beach; at Paphos and Coral Bay; the Polis-Latsi area as well as Famagusta and Kyrenia in the Turkish occupied area of Cyprus.

The areas above are easily accessible and offer all the services needed for people that are visiting the island on a two to three week stay. Professionals on the other hand may need to rent out a four-wheel drive and explore the rather remote coves that are located around the island.
