The Fig Tree Bay is an enticing destination, famous as the site of a centuries-old fig tree (according to tradition, from the 17th century) – hence the name of the place. It has a beautiful 500 metres Blue Flag beach and is constantly maintained by volunteers of the Greening Cyprus Beaches sustainable tourism initiative. The sand is fine, and the waters clear enough to see the seabed and all kinds of little marine creatures.
The Fig Tree Bay beach is well organised, with loungers and parasols, lifeguard on duty, showers, restrooms, and changing facilities. If you are hungry, there are enough restaurants and cafes close to the beach. You can also wait for the nightfall to end the day with drinks in a bar or a club.
If you don’t mind the crowds and being near many hotels and resorts, the Fig Tree Bay beach is quite convenient. It is easy to reach, clean, and safe for the little ones. You can relax on the beach with a good book, stroll down the boardwalk, go for a swim to the small islet near the shore, or rent a canoe to glide on the waves of the Mediterranean Sea. More active travellers can decide to practice adrenaline filled water sports like jet skiing, parasailing, and windsurfing.
Another interesting attraction at Fig Tree Bay is an ancient Hellenistic tomb visible through the glass pavement of the pedestrian pathway. The beach is wheelchair accessible.

Ayia Thekla Beach is a splendid seaside destination, part of the Natura 2000 network of protected areas. It has soft, golden sand stretching about 300 meters along the coast. Clean and well-organized, it has the Blue Flag seal of approval from the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). Close to the shore, a small islet serves as a natural breakwater, protecting the beach from the waves.
You’ll find sun loungers and parasols for rent, and all the typical facilities including restrooms, showers, and changing rooms. Lifeguards on duty are only available in the summer months. You can bring your own food, but there is a restaurant by the beach serving excellent fare and decent prices.
Activities at Ayia Thekla Beach include volleyball and water sports like water skiing, snorkelling, banana boat rides, kayaking, S.U.P, wakeboarding, and others.
The beach takes its name from the Ayia Thekla Chapel – a Greek Orthodox cave temple by the sea. It’s not far and it is a site worth seeing if you are in the area. Near the cave chapel, there’s a modern church with whitewashed façade and blue accents, known as Ayia Thekla Church.
