It can be tough to choose which summer party destination you’ll be getting into mischief in each year, so let’s make it easy with a fair fight.

Holidays in Ayia Napa and holidays in Malia are two of the most popular choices – so let’s see who comes out on top in the battle between Crete and Cyprus’s holiday hot spots.

Round One – Fight: Beach Life

You’ll find loads to keep you busy on Malia’s best beach – the Pleasure beach really does live up to its name. However, with its soft, white sands, party vide and ranking as one of the best beaches in the world, round one has to go to Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa.

Round Two – Fight: Night Life

Ayia Napa is a great choice for cool kids. With DJ names to rival Ibiza playing each summer, those who love their fun bars and their cool clubs will have a ball in Ayia Napa. From party places like Bedrock and Castle Club, to cool venues like the Live Lounge, Ayia Napa has the perfect party for everyone.

However, Malia also packs a real punch with one of the biggest strips in the Med. House, indie, party tunes, R&B – Malia Strip has it all. While bigger doesn’t always mean better (cough), sheer variety means that round two has to go to Malia. And who says size doesn’t matter?

Round Three – It’s a Knockout!

As two amazing summer hotspots, it’s hard to declare Malia or Ayia Napa the winner. Both offer fantastic beach fun and more nighttime venues than you can shake a stick at.

There’s no option on this one but to declare it a draw. After all, either choice guarantees a great summer getaway for beach bums and party people.
