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.
Looking for things to do in Protaras? I’ve got you covered.
Need things to do in Pernera? Sorted, mate.
Things to do in Kapparis and things to do in Paralimni — I’ve got the lot, mate.
And since I don’t do things by halves, I’ve also covered the districts of Nicosia (island centre), Larnaca (southeast coast), Limassol (south coast) and Paphos (west coast).
We’re talking unmissable things to do in Cyprus, what living in Cyprus is really like, the lot.

Makronissos Beach — brilliant for a proper beach holiday in Ayia Napa
In a nutshell: the fab Blue Flag Makronissos Beach is brilliant for solo holidaymakers, couples and families alike. 👍🏖️
So, what are the best hotels near Makronissos Beach?
My favourite 4-star gem is the Asterias Beach Hotel — a proper beachfront gem! 🏖️🏨
I’ve put the Asterias Beach Hotel through its paces four times — and it’s absolutely spot on! 👍
Fair warning: the place is a firm favourite with German, Austrian and Swiss guests (but you’ll even spot a few fellow Brits there!)
Just next door you’ll find the cracking 4-star Dome Beach Hotel & Resort. I really enjoyed my stay there too.
The guests were a proper mix of nationalities — a real European vibe, with even a few Brits thrown in! 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏨
Then there’s the fab 4-star Amethyst Napa Hotel & Spa, located right on the main road, Nissi Avenue. I had a proper brilliant time there!
And here’s the best bit: the place is a firm favourite with fellow Brits 🇬🇧👍 (with a lovely mix of Europeans too!)
Only slight downside: the Amethyst Napa Hotel & Spa isn’t a beachfront hotel. It’s about a 10-min stroll to Makronissos Beach.
And then there’s the brand-new brilliant 5-star Ayia Resort — another proper gem I’d highly recommend.🤩🏨
Ayia Resort is a lovely 15-min stroll from Makronissos Beach.
