GC: LUXURY

GC:ASIA

The perfect way to explore the Island!

With summer fast coming on the horizon, what better way to explore the country than chartering a yacht for your trip from one coastal resort to another. Cyprus has one of the best coastlines in Europe, and is completely accessible from the various marinas around the country. You can leave Limassol marina for a great night out in Ayia Napa, or a relaxing weekend in Latchi plan your own adventure in marine luxury.

Also for those not looking to spend wasted hours in crowded hot airports, for a small extra cost you can charter the boats to other neighbouring countries for a more relaxed trip which the itinerary is designed for yourself.

GC took a look at our favorite providers of boat charters in Limassol, Princess Charter, to take a look at how real game changers spend the weekend. GC’s preferred mode of transport would be the imperious Princess 30, at over a 100 feet long this modern yacht is considered to be one of the most luxurious pilothouse crafts on the planet.

Start the trip with a great breakfast onboard from one of the attentive crew members who can cater for various dietary requirements on the deck of one of the most enviable craft in the marina.

Your first stop should be the amazing Blue Lagoon beach which is one the most spectacular on the island. Located to the west of Paphos, the water is usually warmer due to it being in a bay area.Stop here to take a dip in the clear blue sea to see why this is one of the best places to visit in the country.

We would suggest that once you stop in Latchi to eat at Yialos Beach Tavern offering a great selection of local foods for everyone’s palate. Located close to the harbour, there is no need for a chauffeur to pick you up. Just hop off the marina boat service for a relaxed lunch where you can watch the world go by.

After digesting your food, and relaxing for a few hours in complete luxury as you sail over to Ayia Napa. We would suggest that you relax on deck, or if you are in a food coma take a nap in one of the several air conditioned large bedrooms that are on the yacht. After a couple of hours of sailing, you will be ready for a night out in Ayia Napa. If you are looking for a chic but relaxed night out, perhaps try Sage where you can indulge yourself with great cocktails and food. With it being Ayia Napa, you can choose how you want the night to go whether it is hedonistic bars or a more subdued night out before you return to the yacht.

Having experienced many drunken taxi rides home in my life, this can be the most pleasurable journey home, as you can fall asleep in your luxury double bed as the Captain slowly cruises through the night to the next destination of your choice...enjoy!
