Activities and attractions for all ages
Although Cyprus is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, the island also offers a multitude of activities perfect for a family holiday. Between swimming, outdoor adventures and moments of relaxation, young and old will find their happiness.
Ayia Napa Water park
The Ayia Napa Water Park offers a fun day out for families with a variety of water attractions. The park offers exciting slides such as Free Fall and Kamikaze for thrill seekers, as well as soft pools and mini-slides for the youngest. Families can relax together on the lazy river or in the wave pool. The park has an ancient Greek theme throughout its decor and attractions. Several catering points are available on site. It is open every day from May to October. With activities suitable for all ages, the Ayia Napa Water Park is a good way to refresh yourself and have fun during your holidays in Cyprus. The park is considered one of the main water attractions in Cyprus.
Paphos Zoo
Pafos Zoo is the largest and most exciting zoo in Cyprus, home to more than 1,200 animals from all over the world. Children will love seeing giraffes, monkeys, meerkats, kangaroos and even majestic lions and white tigers! One of the highlights of the zoo is the daily bird show, where colorful macaws and intelligent owls perform incredible tricks in the amphitheater. The zoo also presents a huge collection of parrots and reptiles, including poisonous snakes—one of the largest in Europe! Located in a lush 100,000 square meter natural park with lakes and gardens, the Paphos Zoo is a perfect family day out. It's not only fun, it's also educational, teaching children about wildlife conservation in an engaging way.
Self-drive boats
The self-drive boats in the Latchi Nautical Center are a fantastic family activity that allows you to explore the beautiful coast of Akamas at your own pace. A valid driver's license is required, but no boating license is necessary, and full instructions and safety briefings are provided. Families can walk past sea caves, swim in the crystal clear waters of the blue lagoon and even stop at secluded beaches for a picnic. It is a fun and memorable way to enjoy the sea together, with boat sizes available for different group needs.
Camel park in Mazotos
Just a 20-minute drive from Larnaca, Camel Park Mazotos offers families a pleasant day out in the Cypriot countryside. This is the ideal place for children to meet friendly animals. The little ones will love getting closer to the kind camels and other animals of the park's farm. There is plenty of space to run around, with playground equipment to climb on and (during the summer months) a shallow pool to splash around in. What makes this place special is its relaxed, rural vibe - it's far enough away from the city to feel like a real country adventure, but
close enough so that you don't pass by
all day traveling.
