Taking a Golf or Water Sports Holiday in Cyprus

If you've never visited Cyprus before, then it's definitely a destination that should feature on your list - especially if you prefer a slightly more adventurous type of holiday than just lying back on your sun lounger and doing sweet nothing. Cyprus can cater for any kind of holidaymaker, especially for the golf lovers and water sport adrenaline junkies out there - and with the added benefit of year round great weather, you can see why Cyprus is a top holiday hotspot.

Wonderful Water Sports Holidays in Cyprus

With approximately 50 blue flag beaches, you can be sure of a fantastic water sports holiday in Cyprus - the clean warm waters of the Mediterranean have never been so inviting. Many tourists choose Pissouri for their water sports holidays in Cyprus, due to the great provision of diving schools and the fact that it's within easy reach of some of the best dive sites on the island.

One such dive site is the world famous Zenobia Wreck - considered by divers to be one of the top 10 dive locations in the world, diving enthusiasts travel in their hoards to explore this incredible opportunity. If you're not quite ready for such a big underwater adventure, you can simply enjoy the beautiful caves, tunnels and 'swim throughs' along the Cyprus coastline, while taking pictures of the colourful array of marine life.

If scuba diving or snorkelling aren't the water sports of your choice, there are plenty of other water based activities for you to enjoy on your holiday in Cyprus. You can navigate a sailing boat, or hop on a jet ski for some fast paced fun over the waves. There is also windsurfing, canoes and the hilarious banana boat ride!
