Top Things to Do in Pyla-2024

TOP 1
Golden Beach
Golden Beach
4.4/5 · 12 review
Highlights:
Golden Sand Beach is located on the Karpas Peninsula at the northern end of Cyprus and has a pristine coastline scenery. Every July and August, a large number of sea turtles flock here, and the Golden Beach is a rare place on the Mediterranean coast where sea turtles can lay their eggs. It is difficult to see traces of modern carvings on this beach, and it is worth visiting for friends who yearn for pure blue sky and sea. Due to the inconvenience of traffic, it is recommended to drive by yourself, and you can overlook the entire beach on the coastal road. There are sporadic resorts and restaurants near the sandy beach, providing deckchairs and parasols.
