Located on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, Alona is a famous seaside resort in the Famagusta district. Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, with its long stretches of golden sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, the town attracts tourists from all over the world with its tranquil and beautiful natural environment.
Alona Beach is the most recognizable landmark in the area, with its fine sand and gentle seabed making it ideal for families. It is surrounded by dense palm and olive groves, and has a typical Mediterranean atmosphere with its blue coastline. The climate is mild in winter and sunny in summer, making it ideal for year-round tourism.
Along the beach, the town has well-established resort hotels, restaurants and water sports centers, where visitors can experience sailing, diving and other marine activities. The pedestrianized streets are filled with traditional handicraft stores and cafes, and the evenings offer a laid-back coastal nightlife. The neighboring fishing port of Ayia Napa and the Cape Greco Nature Reserve add variety to the itinerary.
Alona retains its traditional Cypriot village character while being conveniently located only about 40 minutes from Larnaca International Airport. It is both a popular sunny getaway for European tourists and an ideal stopover for exploring Cyprus' historical sites such as the ancient city of Salamis.
