I'm back from an amazing week with my friends in Cyprus! It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life so far and while we were out there we started talking about going away together again next year! everyone wants to go somewhere different but I honestly wouldn't care if we went back to Ayia Napa, although I'm still paying the price for a week straight of drinking after being home for three days!
I'm going to put his in two/three parts because otherwise it would be waaaay to long if it was just one!

I feel like I need to tell you all about everything that happened on a day to day account... so lets start with Wednesday 3rd of July.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So on the 2nd of July; myself and 6 of my other friends went to my friend Lily's house in the evening to stay as our flight was at 9am we had to be at Gatwick by 7am; meaning we all had to get up latest 4am to get a taxi at 5am... you would think I'm exaggerating when I say I got an hour and a half sleep... I'm really not!
So we got to Gatwick just before 7am and checked our luggage in then went to our haven of Wetherspoons to get some breakfast before our 5 hour flight. Once on the plane we all wanted to crash and sleep but only managed to get half an hour as we were all too excited to sleep! After our long flight and two hour time difference we finally arrived at Larnaca Airport about 5pm (Cyprus time 3pm UK time) and we were all extremely tired but we were still raring to go out on the strip for our first night!
We got our luggage of the baggage claim, found our taxi and were at our villa around 5:45 but we had a slight problem. We didn't have a key and were locked out of our villa for about 2 hours... Georgie thought it would be a good idea to get in the pool at this point to see what it was like, slipped on the slope and fell in; none of us have ever laughed so much in our lives; so myself, Georgie (after she changed) and Lily went to the shop and brought a lot of water as we couldn't drink the tap water; we came back and the girls had gotten in somehow with a pass code... so we all showered and got ready for our first night out.
We left our villa around 9:30pm to go for dinner then go and hit the clubs; we went to a little cute restaurant at the top of the strip and the woman there gave us a free cocktail with our meal as it was our first night! Sex on the Beach's all round... actually it was more like Sex on the Beach all week with us... so after dinner we went to a pre drink bar call Simos Magic and drunk more SOTB. We then walked around and ended up in a club called Bedrock which is The Flinstones themed and honestly my favourite place!
After being awake for 24 hours we went home at around 3am and slept for a long time!
Obviously making sure we were awake in time to make the most of the sun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Thursday, I think you could say we were all a little worse for wear after being awake for 24 hours with a little less than two hours sleep, then getting ridiculously drunk! But we soldiered through by sitting by the pool all day in the 30 degree heat; and yes, being ginger skinned in that kind of heat doesn't go well together and I got burnt on our first proper day!
After spending all day in the sun we started getting ready around 9:30pm that night as we wanted to make the most of the strip and the nightlife in Ayia Napa!
We left the villa around 11pm and got to the strip half an hour later; and we went back to Simos Magic for pre drinks aka pre Sex on the Beach then walked up the strip; we brought laughing gas which was insane and ended in Georgie and I falling on top of each other! After the laughing gas we walked a bit further where we found a rep for Castle Club (supposedly Ayia Napa's biggest club which costs 10euros to get in) the rep then got us free entry and a free cocktail which instantly we took up!.
After we left Castle we got free entry into a club called Starsky's which was awesome! My friends and I found a pole in there which we didn't really leave and everyone was dancing and it was such a good night!
We left Starsky's around 3am and somehow ended up in Bedrock again! but as it was later this time the silent disco was on; basically they give you headphones with a drink and play music through each headphones; I thought it was rather pointless because everyone was singing out loud anyway haha but I was just talking to the DJ all night; who is only 5 months older than me and possibly the hottest thing I have ever layed eyes on...
Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us your adventurous nightlife story! It's hard to believe, but Ayia Napa started out as a pin drop-peaceful fishing village. Did you know that? Nowadays, it's one of the best nightlife destinations in the whole Europe. You may click here to read more about primarily party holiday destinations of Cyprus. Whatever you opt for, Cyprus has it ;)
