North of Ayia Napa, in an area of small villages with whitewashed houses, is another resort replete with family-friendly attractions like a waterpark, an aquarium, stables for horseback riding and of course a host of beaches.

The Church of St. Elias here was only built in the 1980s, but merits a visit for its location, at the crest of a hill more than 150 steps above the town and with sumptuous views all around.
