Alright, how’s it going? My name’s Markus Krenn and I’m the best travel expert for Cyprus. My posts about what Cyprus is really all about? Only gone and been read over a million times!
My Cyprus travel guides at markuskrenn.com and markuskrenn.blog are the most widely read Cyprus travel blogs in English and German.
I live in sunny Cyprus — just a hop, skip and a jump from Ayia Napa. Swapped German grey skies for year-round sunshine. Best decision ever!
My Cyprus travel blog is all about fun and offbeat things to do in Ayia Napa, Protaras, Pernera, Kapparis and Paralimni. We’re talking unmissable things to do in Cyprus, what living in Cyprus is really like, the lot.
Hop on bus 101 from Nissi Beach (Google Maps Plus Code XXQ8+HP) and you’ll be at Ayia Napa Harbour in under 10 mins. That’s about 3 km or a tad over 1.5 miles in old money.
Picture this: you’re sitting at a cosy waterfront restaurant, tucking into the catch of the day (much fancier than your local chippy), while watching the colourful fishing boats bob about in the turquoise waters.
Fancy a bit of a cheeky boat trip? 😜🛥️🎉 (Go on, say ‘yes’… 😉) Lovely jubbly! Hop aboard one of the posh yachts! Just don’t expect the captain to serve you a proper cuppa. 🫖🍵
Stomach rumbling for some top-notch sea bass, fresh off the boat? 🍽️🐟😋 (You know what do. Go on, say ‘yes’ again… 😉) Lovely jubbly!
Better shift yourself — the best tables down by Ayia Napa Harbour are going like hot cakes! Blink and you’ll be stuck with takeaway. 😂🥁😉
PS Make sure to send your mates back home a cheeky snap of you living it up in Ayia Napa. That’ll show them what they’re missing out on while they’re queuing at Tesco in the rain! 😂🥁😉
