3 pic nic sites in Cyprus that worth a visit

Cyprus is home to 40 picnic sites. They are a perfect place for a picnic during the day or even an overnight camping trip. All the sites were built in areas designated as safe and intended for picnics and other excursions. They all offer beautiful scenery – a tapestry of fauna and flora – with an ambiance embodying the fresh air. Let’s take a look at our top three picks for your next picnic trip on the island.

Agioi Anargyroi

Our first pick takes us to the site of Agioi Anargyroi, a peaceful, sandy location. Once you arrive at the parking, you will be greeted by a humble chapel near the seaside. The site can only be accessed by a short walk, but it is well worth it. The sun can be scorching during the summertime, and you’ll be pleased to know that the site has multiple square gazebos for you to rest, enjoy your outdoor meal and converse with your friends and family. Located 8km from Ayia Napa, the site is situated at an altitude of 40m and can accommodate a capacity of 100 people, so don’t be shy to invite as many people as you can. The site is surrounded by peaceful emptiness while offering a view of the scenic mountain range and picturesque Mediterranean ocean.  

Agio Georgios

Our next pick is located 7km from the centre of Nicosia and is set up in the vibrant Athalassa National Park. The park is spacious, with surrounding trees spaced apart just enough to feel like you’re in the backwoods, yet just enough to lay out a picnic blanket on the forest floor and enjoy your time.

Agia Paraskevi

Agia Paraskevi is located 22km from the city of Limassol, toward the mountains of Troodos. One of many sites blessed by a slightly cooler temperature, this is the ideal place to get away from the scorching heat during the summer and cozy up next to a warmly lit barbeque during the winter. As you arrive at the site, a deep inhale at 600m altitude sweeps you away into the fresh atmosphere. Nature’s best scents of fresh water, rock, pine and alder trees have a powerful presence. Yet the highlight of the site is the vast space available. With provided grilling spots and gazebos, the area can transform into an ideal place for leisure, with exploration opportunities in the forest beyond.

After your day out in the fresh air, or overnight stay, be sure to book a room at one of our Louis Hotel locations to refresh yourself after your trip.
