A world away from the busy beaches closer to Ayia Napa centre
Ayia Thekla is the most Westerly beach in Ayia Napa and consists of a small main beach and lots of small private patches of sand along the coastline. It is generally a quiet beach but gets busier during peak season and national holidays when many of the nearby holiday villas are occupied with visitors. This is a more off the beaten track beach for those looking to get away from the main tourist beaches.
Ayia Thekla is a newly developed area on the western edge of Ayia Napa. Building here began in the late 1990's and today it is a modern collection of villa estates strung along the coast for several miles. Recently a large hotel development has been built on the seafront by the beach. Just east of the beach is Ayia Thekla church and a collection of ancient tombs in the rocks.
Ayia Thekla Beach has a beach restaurant and bar as well as toilets and changing facilities.

A retreat for those in the know
Kite surfers and paragliders also use Ayia Thekla beach for practice and it is a popular spot for jogging and walking along the coastal pathway. In Spring the area is a riot of wildflowers and the sea shore is very pretty. The new Ayia Napa marina is also close by.
The main beach is a small horseshoe of soft sand with several rocky islands just a short way out. It's safe and sheltered for kids with rock pool to explore along the edges of the beaches and rocky island. For several miles west towards Potamos Liopetri the rocky shore line is interspersed with small private patches of golden sand, ideal for those looking for a quiet sunbathing spot.
