Where to Enjoy Family Holidays in Cyprus....

The tourism industry has made sure that family holidays in Cyprus are fun and diverse. There is lots of family fun in Cyprus to be had, in the numerous luna parks and crazy golf courses on the island or the several several bowling alleys.

Modern Cyprus really does offer something for every one of all ages, not just couples, party-goers or history lovers. Family holidays in Cyprus have a lot of variety. Check out some of our favourite family attractions below:

Platres Chocolate Workshop

You won't be able to resist temptation in this lovely family run chocolate factory which is a must do for any serious chocoholic! This place even holds the Guinness world record for the most expensive Easter egg ever made, so if you want a different type of eating out experience in Cyprus, you don't really need to look any further! This is a good option for parents with older children, who can either enjoy a day by themselves or take the kids along.

The chocolates are unique in the world as they incorporate the flavours of Cyprus that cannot be found elsewhere. Different chocolates include Zivania flavour, Commandaria Wine flavour, Lemon Glyco flavour and Cyprus coffee flavour. Several of the chocolates include other Cyprus produce such as honey and almonds. The workshop also offers 'Flava Chocolate', made with Cyprus Royal Jelly, which has proven health benefits.

You can either come and sample Cyprus chocolates or learn the art of the the chocolatier for yourself at a chocolate workshop experience day. These can be booked for 2-6 people and must be booked in advance. Classes are €50 a person and you get to take home all the chocolates you make.

Platres Chocolate Workshop is located at 29 Archbishop Makarios Avenue, Pano Platres. Call John on 00357 99766446 for details.

Magic Dancing Waters, Protaras

Well this isn’t just for families, it’s for everyone but I’ve included it here anyway as children love it! You can find this light show next to McDonalds in Protaras. Giant fountains “dance” in time to the music, which includes the famous Zorba’s dance.

There are also laser, smoke and light shows as well as volcano eruptions! I once stayed in the Kapetanios Bay Hotel next door and was lucky enough to be able to see the show every night from my balcony as I got ready to go out. It is really enjoyable and exhilarating, and I would definitely recommend going to see it!

Lucky Star Theme Park, Larnaca

This theme park is located at Aradippou, not far from Larnaca and the wide range of activities on offer make it perfect for all ages and is a great day out during family holidays in Cyprus.

Lucky Star definitely tries to do things a bit differently and offer a unique twist on common rides. For example, as well as the usual bumper cars, they also offer 'bumper boats'. Same principle but just on water, and in the Cyprus heat it's no bad thing to get splashed a bit! There are also special children's motorbikes with a desgnated track.

Younger children can ride on the safari train and carousel or play on the bouncy castle, while older kids can enjoy the rollercoaster and arcades. Things that are suitable for all ages include the monorail which has a view of the whole park, snooker tables, antique car rides, go-karting and video games.

Go-Karting, Larnaca

The Larnaca Go-Karting centre has the biggest go-karting course in Cyprus, and it offers tracks for all levels including a small track for younger children. The centre also offers birthday parties for children, which includes food and use of a bouncy castle.

Kids Kingdom, Paphos

This is an indoor play area for children, with a bar and restaurant for parents and so is ideal for family holidays in Cyprus. The play area has three floors and includes dodgem cars, arcade games and is for children aged 2-17 years.
