Celebrating on the east coast
The free Famagusta district, from Ayia Napa and Protaras to the villages of the Kokkinochoria, has two faces. In summer it is all beaches, bright water and parties, with weddings on the sand and celebrations that run late. All year round it is also home to close-knit village communities, where christenings and weddings fill the local churches and halls with hundreds of relatives.
Typical venues
- Beach venues and bars for ceremonies on the sand, sundowners and birthday parties.
- Resort hotels in Ayia Napa and Protaras, with terraces and gardens for destination weddings.
- Boats and catamarans for hen and stag parties or a day out with friends.
- Village churches and community halls in the Kokkinochoria, for big family weddings and christenings.
- Clubs and party venues for nights out, anniversaries and summer events.
Tips for east coast events
- Bright days, late nights. Beach events have harsh midday light. A live photo wall works best after sunset or in a shaded bar area.
- Sand and water. Put the QR code on a sturdy sign or poster rather than loose table cards that blow away. Guests will scan from the shore and from the water’s edge.
- On a boat. Signal at sea comes and goes. Guests can keep taking photos and send them, and uploads continue where they stopped once the boat is back in range.
- Party crowds. For a big birthday or a beach party, turn on photo challenges and let the most liked photos come back on the screen. For a lively crowd, choose Pro to approve uploads before they reach the wall.
- Village celebrations. Large families mean many uploads. A village wedding with hundreds of guests fits best on Pro, with unlimited uploads.
