The Best Places to Visit in Ayia Napa
Cape Greco
- The Cape Greco National Park near Ayia Napa, Cyprus, is a protected park and one of the best places to visit in Europe.
- If you adore swimming and are drawn to the sea, this should be at the top of your list of things in Ayia Napa.
- Cape Greco is known for its brilliant blue waters and various natural rock formations, several of which have hidden caverns.
- Cycling, trekking, cliff jumping, swimming, and even snorkelling in the rock's sea caverns are popular activities for outdoor enthusiasts and explorers.
- The Ayia Sea Monster is supposed to live in this area (known locally as the Friendly Sea Monster).
- It's considered a harmless monster, and the only things you'll get out of meeting it are astonishment and a fascinating narrative.
Makronissos Beach & Tombs
- Beaches abound in this part of the Mediterranean, so it's no surprise that Cyprus has a plethora of them.
- The beach of Makronissos is a few miles west of the city centre.
- Though its excellent swimming conditions (soft, white sand and calm, clear waters) make it a favourite destination for both visitors and residents, it is a quieter alternative to the party vibes of Nissi Beach.
- Waterskiing, paddle boating, and diving are all popular beach activities here.
- The archaeological tombs carved into the rocky earth nearby elevate Makronissos to another level; they aren't manned, so it's an excellent opportunity to do some unrestricted exploring.
- Steps have been chiselled into the stone, providing convenient access to the crypts.
- If you get a little scared, the beach is only a short distance away and a great spot to cool off before continuing with your day.
Ayia Napa Monastery
- The Ayia Napa Monastery is enveloped in an air of exotic magic and mystery, especially given that its actual age and origins are unclear.
- The Ayia Napa Monastery is wrapped in an air of exotic magic and mystery, with underground passages, arches and pillars, and a subterranean cavern.
- It was built when the Venetians conquered and took Cyprus in the 15th century.
- Many local legends surround the monastery's origins, from a hunter whose dog discovered the golden icon and the monastery built around it to a wealthy family's daughter who sought refuge after being denied to marry her true love.
- This is a lovely place to spend an afternoon listening to the sounds of antiquity within the grounds, with history and energy resonating around the ancient walls.
- The monastery is free to visit, although donations are always welcomed.

Thalassa Museum
- When the environment is as stunning as in Cyprus, it can be challenging to tear yourself away from the outdoors.
- But it's worth it in this case; the Thalassa Museum is one of the best things to do in Ayia Napa if you want to take a break from the sun.
- This hidden gem is a great site to learn about local history and culture and see a variety of fascinating items related to the area.

- The museum is open all year and charges admission for adults and students.
Ayia Napa Sea Caves

- Legend has it that ancient pirates used these caves as hideouts and to hide stolen loot.
- Many firms offer transportation and boat excursions of the area to get to the caverns by land or sea.
- Swimming and diving are popular, but so are fishing and cliff leaping. Although I'm sure the locals know of a few hidden gems, there's only one prominent site where you can safely cliff jump.
- If you're afraid of heights, the jump down is roughly 10 metres, and you'll have to face your anxieties.
