Pervolia

The Larnaca District

On the edge of Larnaca Bay the palm lined seafront of Larnaca town bustles with cafes, tavernas, shops and bars. Historic charm is lent to the scene by its fortress castle, now used as the towns summer cultural centre. Larnaca is an excellent base from which to get to know the central and eastern section of Cyprus, and its proximity to the International Airport and a number of luxury hotels that have been developed along its beautiful sandy beaches make this a popular holiday choice.

Larnaca was originally known as Kition, or Khittim, and legend has it that the first settlement at the spot was founded by Noahs grandson Khittim. But the name Larnaca probably comes from the Greek word Larnax, which means sarcophagus many of which have been unearthed in this area. The towns heyday was as an ancient city kingdom established by the Mycenean Greeks in the 13th century BC, when it enjoyed the dual position of rich sea port and major centre of the copper trade.

Remains of that period excavated in recent years can be seen in its Cyclopean walls and a complex of Mycenean temples at the ancient Kition site. Birthplace of the stoic philosopher Zeno, Larnaca was also the second home of St Lazarus, who arrived there after his resurrection and later became its first Bishop. The Church of St Lazarus standing in the centre of the town is well worth a visit the tomb of St Lazarus, who is still the patron saint of Larnaca, is under the sanctuary.

The town was not to regain its standing until the 17th century, when it became the consular and commercial centre of Cyprus, and its port once again flourished with trade. It was here that the British landed in 1878 to begin their rule of the island.

Much smaller than Nicosia or Limassol, Larnaca has a population of 62,000 and has managed to retain a relaxed, leisurely atmosphere. Its main shopping area is Zenon Kitieos Street, a typically busy road of small shops, with a wonderfully colourful fruit and vegetable market at the far end. Larnaca is known for its annual celebration of the Feast of Kataklysmos Greek Orthodox Whitsun, which is an important holiday, the occasion is marked by enthusiastic water sports, feasting, singing and dancing.

Pervolia area

Pervolia is a small village with all the Bars/Tavernas shops that you would require for a holiday in the real Cyprus.
The village is not the "Little England" that many of the surrounding towns have become such as Oroklini or Protaras.there is a regular bus service to Larnaca.

Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa attracts a large number of tourists and features a number of sandy beaches, on which watersports such as water-skiing, windsurfing, canoeing, scuba diving and speed boating are popular. The Cyprus Tourism Organization supervises the beaches and is responsible for protecting the interests of all tourists. All beaches in Agia Napa have been awarded with the EU blue flag for their level of cleanliness and facilities offered. The most popular of these beaches is Nissi beach, which is visited mainly by clubbers and young people at summer and gets very busy. Another of the beaches is the Harbour Beach (also known as Limanaki (CTID) or Pantahou beach), which is one of the longest beaches of Cyprus, and the longest beach in Ayia Napa. Harbour Beach caters more for families and is a more relaxing beach. The New Golden Bay, or Lanta / Landa beach as it is known to the locals, is a less busy beach with a number of activities available. Several hotels and apartments are situated on Nissi Road, including Nissi Beach Hotel, Kaos Hotel Apts and others).

The Square, central to the town, is filled with restaurants, night clubs and shops, such as & Restaurant,Abyss Club which is where Boy Better Know are at every summer, Babylon Superclub, The Castle Club, Black & White Club , Starskys , Club Ice, Play, Carwash & Bars such as Guru Bar, Pepper, The Napa Castle Bar Senior Frogs, Pirates, Sky Bar, Titanic, Hollywood, Bedrock Inn, the jammin and River Reggae to name but a few. It is by many seen as the focal point of the Agia Napa night-life.

Ayia Napa has changed its image somewhat over the years, from a fishing village to a clubbers' paradise and now has found its place as a multi - cultural town predominantly playing House, Electro, Tech, R&B, Garage & 70's & 80's, catering for all. This change happened when in 1995, a DJ called Nick Power from London's Kiss FM opened up a club in the town called the Kool Club. The Kool Club changed Ayia Napa's mainstream club style and brought the underground style of House music to the resort, and from then on all the other clubs tried to follow suit and bring over Guest DJs and events to try and compete. Over the years to come, Ayia Napa was called the clubbing capital of Europe, and DJ Nick Power gained the tag "Godfather of Ayia Napa" on a BBC TV documentary on the resort. A new cocktail was invented consisting of Vodka and Sprite mixed 50/50 going by the name "Pool-grogg" or its less known name "Swedish water". It's boosted most clubs cocktail-sales since it was introduced to the masses bumping out Vodka-redbull and Sex on the beach. Various acts visiting the island include DJ Tiesto, Above & Beyond, Sander Kleinenberg, Ferry Corsten, John Digweed DJ Luck & MC Neat, Armand Van Helden and Boy Better Know amongst others. Ayia Napa is also a very popular summer destination for various footballers, past visitors including Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Sol Campbell, Andy Cole and many more. Cape Greco is a 10 minute drive from the center of Ayia Napa, and is considered one of the most beautiful places on the island offering site seeing, cliff jumping and a variety of other activities.
