Kapparis is a small village on the eastern side of Cyprus, situated between the town of Paralimni and the Mediterranean Sea.   Although Kapparis may be small and peaceful, it is very well appointed with a wide range of local shops, a supermarket, a bakery, taverns, an Italian restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a fish and chip restaurant and of course several Cypriot restaurants serving some of the famed Cyprus dishes such as kleftiko, stiffado and meat and fish mezes. Perhaps it is because Kapparis is smaller and more peaceful than its nearby neighbour Agia Napa, yet so well appointed, that it attracts so many holiday makers. Perhaps it is the year round sun that makes Kapparis such a popular winter sun destination, or maybe it is because Kapparis is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and coves to be found on the island of Cyprus.  And the good news if you are coming out of season is that all the shops and restaurants stay open in the winter as do the internet cafes, launderettes, hairdressers and all the services you’re likely to need

If you are looking for an ideal location for a family holiday, then Kapparis is a natural choice. The nearest beach, Firemans Beach is less than 10 minutes walk from Blue Electra whilst at others you can hire canoes or try your hand at water skiing or other water sports.   At one end of Kapparis there is a mini zoo with a viewpoint overlooking the ghost city of Famagusta and a small museum to the ‘Cyprus Problem’ whilst at the other end, just past Kapparis Roundabout is the aquarium. In between the two, you’ll find car rental, 4 wheel drive rental, English food, Cypriot food, beach goods, cafes, a wine bar, cycle rental and a whole holiday world to explore.  A traffic-free cycle lane links Kapparis to Pernera, Paralimni, Protaras and Ayia Napa, so it's a perfect opportunity to leave the car behind and get some fresh air and warm Cyprus sun.
