I am assuming that you are planning the South of the Island and not the North as you refer to Ayia Napa. Split between the Western and Eastern resorts, the East has nice sandy beaches. Lots of shopping and nightlife I would suggest Limassol in the middle. However, there isn%26#39;t a sandy beach there. Far East of the island, Protaras is supposedly not as noisy as Ayia Napa and has nice sandy beaches as does Pernera. I would not say that it has fantastic shopping.. However, I have been to Protaras and found it nosier on occassion than Ayia Napa. Have you ever been to Ayia Napa? Do not believe what the papers say would be my opinion. Although, I would recommend that you stay in the Nissi Bay area. This is 20 mins walk from the centre, is quiet and has nice beaches, bars, shops and restaurants. In September it is getting quieter as the schools and colleges resume back here in the UK. Paphos is good for sightseeing and has nightlife, but again it does not have the nice sandy beaches that are prevalent on the East. Hope this helps.

Pernera on the south east of the island is a nice place to stay - lovely beaches and good restaurants. Depends on what type of shops you are looking for - most in Protaras %26amp; Pernera are typical tourists shops - bit tacky and nothing exciting. There are some lovely little shops in Paralimni which is a 20 minute drive from Pernera but if you want serious shopping then you are going to have to make a trip to Nicosia. Pafos has more shops but beaches not very good. Don%26#39;t write off Ayia Napa. Its not as you are led to believe. The party people come out at night to enjoy their hols but its not rowdy in the day. In September the season is starting to wind down and it is much quieter anyway on the south eastern side of the island. Weather in September is lovely - still hot but not sticky humid like July/August.
