Golf and Water Sports in Cyprus

If you like your holidays to be more on the active side than just relaxing in the sun, there are plenty of destinations that will serve you well - one such tourist hot spot is the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Cyprus is famed for its weather, with warm temperatures throughout the year - so if you're planning on enjoying the sea or a round or two of golf, you can take a holiday in Cyprus in any season and still make the most of the many golf courses and water sports on offer.

Holidays in Cyprus - Water Sports Fun!

With around 50 blue flag beaches, a water sports holiday in Cyprus is guaranteed to be safe and clean - no debris to dodge when you're snorkelling or splashing around in a pedalo! The area around Pissouri Bay is particularly popular for water sports holidays, with PADI diving instructors offering some fantastic scuba diving experiences at some incredible sites.

One of the most popular scuba diving spots on the island is the world famous Zenobia Wreck, considered among experts as one of the top 10 dive sites in the whole world. If you're not experienced to a level suitable to explore this particular site, don't worry, because there are plenty of other incredible underwater cave and tunnels for less experienced divers to discover - and you will also get the chance to see an abundance of beautiful marine creatures during your diving adventure.

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!
