Makronissos Beach is located 5 kilometers west of the center of Ayia Napa. There is clear azure water and white sand, which makes this beach look like a tropical resort. Many people consider Makronissos beach to be the best in Cyprus.
This place is located on the very outskirts of Ayia Napa, but it is quite convenient to get here. Vacationers come here on ATVs or cars that are rented in the city. It is also convenient to get here by public transport. There is a bus stop on the main highway of Leoforos Nissi. From there you will have to walk 650 meters to Makronissos Beach.
The length of Makronisos beach is about 300 meters, and the width of sandy area is about 50 meters. The entrance to the sea is flat, so most of the tourists with children are here. There is no loud music, and there are no noisy parties, as on the Nissi beach.
Nearby, you can visit the small archaeological area where the Makronissos tombs are located. These are tombs of the Hellenic period, carved into the rock. The coast of the sea in this place consists of volcanic rock, which makes the color of the water azure.
