Ayia Napa opens exclusive beach for dogs

One of the most popular resorts on the island of Cyprus, Ayia Napa has recently established its very first officially authorised beach solely for animals.

The exclusive beach was sanctioned after complaints from holidaymakers and residents that dogs on the island had no place to cool down in the islands blistering heat.

Ayia Napa on the south-eastern coast of Cyprus is a resort renowned primarily for its all night revelry by tourists from all over Europe. But officials on the island decided to take steps to ensure that mans best friend was as well catered for as his owner!

The mayor of Ayia Napa, Antonis Tsokkos said recently:-

“We have seen lots of people taking their dogs for a walk since the establishment of the designated area, and we have been inundated by phone calls from happy pet owners thanking and congratulating us for this initiative. This initiative has been a long time coming, the fact that no such beach existed had caused problems between dog owners and people who did not want dogs in the area”.

The exclusive area of beach for dogs is Louma, and was historically a place where shepherds on the island would take their sheep to bathe at the edge of the sea. However the designated area has been allocated as a future yachting marina, and so the animal beach will be moved around 200m further away from its current location.
