A narrow tidal creek lined with weathered wooden fishing boats — one of the last genuinely working fishing harbours on the island and a favourite of photographers at sunset. There is no entry fee and no development beyond a couple of fish tavernas. It is a short stop rather than a day out, but an atmospheric one.
A small, calm, family-friendly sandy cove just west of Ayia Napa, with shallow clear water and far fewer crowds than Nissi. Beside it stand a little whitewashed chapel and, cut into the low cliff, a tiny centuries-old cave-church — a quiet, characterful corner of the coast. Free to visit, with a beach bar and parking close by.
A Blue Flag horseshoe of soft pale sand with calm, shallow water — quieter than nearby Nissi but the same postcard colours. Just behind it lie the Makronissos Tombs, a group of ancient rock-cut chamber tombs and a small quarry you can walk around for free. The beach has sunbeds and a couple of bars, and the gentle swimming is ideal for kids.

CyHerbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Avgorou, Cyprus.
No — it is ticketed; the organiser sets the prices.
One of the older events on the international rally calendar, run since 1970 on the winding gravel roads of the Troodos mountains above Limassol, usually in October. Watching from the roadside stages is free, and the sight and sound of rally cars sliding through the pine forest is a real thrill for petrolheads. Stages and dates are published in advance — follow the marshals and arrive early for the best spots.
A first-time weekend festival in the neighbouring mountain villages of Kannavia and Agia Eirini about nature, wildlife habitats and rural tradition. There are halloumi, zivania and bread-making workshops, village produce, folk music and dancing, guided nature walks, archery demonstrations and a small petting zoo for children, with the Department of Forests taking part. Free entry.
The 12th edition of the neighbourhood arts festival run by the NGO Urban Gorillas moves to Synergasias Street in old Kaimakli. Over two days more than 60 artists fill the streets with community games, craft workshops, guided walks, street theatre, film screenings, tango, storytelling and live music, plus installations built by architecture students.
