Fishing
Surrounded by sea, and with a score of plentiful reservoirs, the age-old Tao of fishing is a
popular pastime of local Cypriots as well as visitors.
Over 250 species of fish enjoy Cyprus' warm waters. Many fishing villages along the
coastline hire out boats, and at the marinas of the resort towns, you'll find plenty of anglers
willing to take you on board or out on organised fishing excursions (kids welcome). These
trips usually include a village lunch.
Deep-sea fishing is also possible, with bluefish, sea bass, barracuda, tuna, jack and am-
berjack all copious catches. In North Cyprus, Kyrenia is the main centre for organised
deep-sea fishing trips, while in the South you'll find trips easy to organise in all the main
resorts.
