Ayia Napa

AYIA NAPA 

Ayia Napa is located near the south east tip of Cyprus close to the beautiful nature reserve of Cape Greco. Cyprus’ moderate climate and geography has throughout history made it a desirable location. Ayia Napa’s golden white sandy beaches and Safe, shallow, calm and crystal clear water have made this coastline a true paradise. It was once a small fishing village clustered around an ancient monastery and was later hailed as the Ibiza of the Eastern Mediterranean, has in recent years toned down its clubbing image and reformed itself into a resort for all the family.
Ayia Napa offers a fantastic selection of diverse restaurants catering to every taste. The picturesque harbour is very well known for its fish cuisine and is also frequented by the locals.

ATTRACTIONS:
The medieval Monastery -  located central to Ayia Napa, built in 1570 by the Venetians.

• Nissi Beach - 4 km from the harbour. A pure white sand beach and turquoise water with a variety of water sports on offer.
• Macronissos Beach - On the outskirts of Ayia Napa. The water is very shallow and great for families with small children.
• Cape Greco - Located at the most eastern point of Agia Napa. Its views are stunning, rugged shoreline in contrast with sandy beaches to the west, sea caves, cliffs, and sparkling blue waters. Great for diving, snorkelling or just sitting back and watching the view, also a favourite with cyclists and walkers.
• Marine Life Museum - Located in the lower level of the Town Hall the museum was the first of its type to focus on the past and present aspects of the island's marine life. There is an excellent fossil collection as well as a photographic exhibition including a reconstructed seabed dating from the dinosaur age.
• Thalassa Municipal Museum of the Sea - Situated next to the CTO Office – worthy of a visit. Thalassa or The Sea is the exclusive theme of this museum. Artefacts, vases, statues, sculptures, seascape paintings by local and Greek artists and other exhibits are on display but the main highlight is the life size replica of the 3rd century BC Kyrenia merchant ship which was discovered in 1965 on the seabed off the Kyrenia coast.
