Cyprus is one of the most popular tourist centers, attracting Russian tourists for more than 20 years. For our compatriots, it has long become an ideal summer vacation, and the story of what a wonderful sea in Cyprus is the envy of those who have not yet been there. This island is divided into two parts - the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is a partially recognized state association under the jurisdiction of Turkey. But the center of Russian tourism in this case is the Republic of Cyprus.
First of all, this fabulous island attracts our tourists, of course, with beaches. Which sea washes Cyprus? Very warm - Mediterranean. The island is located in its eastern part. But such an answer to this question from the point of view of geography is not entirely accurate. So what is the sea in
Cyprus? Cypriot, of course. It is distinguished as an integral part of the Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, its northeastern part (the one that washes the shores of Cyprus and
Asia Minor) is called the Cilician Sea. The eastern part, which lies between the island and the Middle East coast, is called the Levantine Sea.
And what will the ordinary tourist answer if you ask him about the sea in Cyprus? The first answer you can hear is "Pure." At the same time, a dreamy smile will illuminate the person’s face - such a sea is not forgotten for a long time.
The sea in Cyprus is really clean, it is not without reason that many of the beaches on this island have been awarded the “blue flag” of the European Union for environmental cleanliness and developed infrastructure. All beaches in Cyprus are city property, and their visit is absolutely free. But you have to pay about 1-2 euros for the rental of beach equipment: tents, umbrellas, sun loungers.
In addition, the Cyprus Sea is one of the warmest and salty parts of the Mediterranean Sea. Due to the high salt content, almost all marine living creatures are concentrated in coastal waters, which gives room for diving. The Cyprus Sea is rich in coral reefs, which are the dream of every lover of deep sea diving. But it should be remembered that the authorities of Cyprus meticulously monitor the rise of tourists from the bottom of the sea of ​​archaeological values. Therefore, despite the fact that finding them in the surrounding waters is a simple matter, trying to take away the historical heritage as souvenirs is not worth it.
Cyprus. What is the sea there? Not only crystal clear, but also warm. The average temperature of sea water off the coast of the island is about 15-17 degrees in the winter months, or rather - from November to May. In summer, the water warms up to 22-27 degrees.
What are the main places in Cyprus for a beach holiday? Of course, the main resort is Larnaca. Also, Limassol can boast of excellent beaches, Ayia Napa - the capital of club life on the island, the city of Paphos, where the famous Aphrodite Bay is located. If you have not yet decided on where to spend your vacation, consider visiting these cities. Then, upon returning home, you will enthusiastically begin to tell your friends and acquaintances: “Ah, what a sea in Cyprus!”
