Konnos Beach is the pretty cove between Ayia Napa and Cape Greco, tucked below pine-covered slopes and protected enough for clear, usually calm swimming. The sand-and-rock setting feels more natural than the resort strip, even though facilities and crowds are never far away in summer.
It is one of the best beaches to combine with Cape Greco. Swim early, then follow the coastal paths toward sea caves and viewpoints before the heat builds. Families like the sheltered water; snorkellers get more interest around the rocky edges than on the open sand.
