A children's swimming pool allows enjoyment for toddlers of all ages.
Within Kapparis itself there are two lovely beaches with crystal clear waters, the closest and most popular is "Firemans Beach" which is a 10 - 12 minute walk from the apartment or 2 minute drive. Kapparis is traditionally quieter than the neighbouring towns of Protaras and Ayia Napa but if you are looking for beautiful beaches don't miss the opportunity to visit the famous Fig Tree Bay in Protaras which is a 5 minute drive or Nissi Beach on the outskirts of Ayia Napa which is approximately a 15 minute drive. With crystal clear waters and warm sea all beaches offer superb snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities.
Within Kapparis there is also a bakery, some small shops and a supermarket along with plenty of tavernas, restaurants and bars to enjoy the warm summer evenings. For more lively evenings the resorts of Protaras and Ayia Napa are on hand.
The district of Farmagusta is located on the Eastern side of the island and boasts to have the most beautiful beaches with golden sandy beaches and turquoise waters and the most stunning locations on the island. With 340 days sunshine a year and temperatures ranging between 16/18 degrees in the winter and 30 degrees + in the summer months it makes this part of the island a firm favourite for sun worshippers. Sea temperatures remaining warm from May through to late October.
The towns of Paralimni, Protaras and Ayia Napa are all close by and for those who wish to travel further there's the spectacular Trodos Mountains to explore.
With so many beaches close by there are plenty of water sports available including snorkelling and scuba diving with Ayai Napa's huge Water Park just down the road. There are also walking and cycling activities through the stunning scenery of the Cape Greco National Park which is also accessible by car.
Kapparis is a peaceful and picturesque coastal village situated close to the towns of Protaras and Paralimni, it's considered to be an 'up and coming' area within the Famagusta district. Kapparis is perfect for families and couples looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday but also caters for those looking for a little more excitement with the livelier resorts of Protaras and Ayia Napa close by.
Kennedy Avenue which is the main high street in Kapparis is just a 10 minute walk and has lots of bars, restaurants and tavernas. There are also a number of shops, supermarket and a very nice bakery serving freshly made bread, cakes and croissants. Further amenities include a launderette and internet cafe.
The beaches in Kapparis are beautiful with 'Firemans Breach' (10 minute walk - 0.8km) and 'Ayia Triada' being the most popular locally with shallow waters and rock pools making these ideal for children. If you wish to travel a little further there's more stunning beaches, 'Fig Tree Bay' in Protaras (10 minute drive) being the most well known and 'Nissi Beach' on the edge of Ayia Napa (15 minute drive) is also stunning with golden sands and crystal clear water. These beaches are ideal if you wish to try your hand at water skiing, jet skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving plus many other water sports. There's also a very popular water park to be found in Ayia Napa which is popular with children and adults alike.
Konnas Bay is another 'must see' location which can be found between Protaras and Ayia Napa and is arguable the best beach on the island.
The traditional town of Paralimni is close by which has some very nice cafes, bars, traditional restaurants and bakeries set around the old town square. There are also many old churches, a museum and open air theatre along with shops selling very good quality ceramics which are generally cheaper than Protaras.
Both Protaras and Ayia Napa have many shops, bars and restaurants to choose from serving all kinds of tasty dishes from traditional Greek, many sea food dishes through to international dishes.
Our apartment is ideally located for a very relaxing holiday but a car is recommended to allow you to fully appreciate what's on offer not only in the Famagusta region but further afield.

Directions
How to get there
Nearest Airport : Larnaca International (LCA) which is approximately 40 - 45 minutes transfer (63km).
The apartment is extremely easy to get to, the airport is located next to the main A3 motorway linking Larnaca to the eastern side of the island and ends at Ayia Napa. From here Great Kings is approximately 10km.
Alternative Airport : Paphos (PFO) which is approximately a 2 hour drive.
Once you’ve arrived at either Larnaca or Paphos airport you have the choice of pre-booking a transfer from the airport for which a cost can be provided, you will be met at the airport and transferred straight to your apartment without hassle.
Alternatively you may want to make use of a rented vehicle, car rental sites are below. Driving in Cyprus is easy as Cypriots drive on the left as in the UK and all road signs are in English and Greek. We would recommend renting a car in order to see as much of the island as possible as there are some beautiful places to visit.
Public transport is easily accessible, throughout the summer months there is a frequent bus service which runs to the nearby towns of Protaras, Ayia Napa and Paralimni.
Regardless of which option you decide you can be met at the Great Kings to ensure you are familiar with the appliances and made aware of the facilities on offer. There’s no extra charge 7am – 7pm (€10 outside these times).
