Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa combines the energy of a major seaside resort with the calm of Cyprus’s southeastern Mediterranean shore, reflecting its position between busy holiday beaches and the Cape Greco headland. The town developed from a small fishing settlement and is named for the medieval Ayia Napa Monastery, a Venetian-era complex built around a cave associated with an icon of the Virgin Mary. Nissi Beach and Makronissos Beach are among its best-known stretches of sand, while Cape Greco National Forest Park lies east of town, where rocky coast and sea caves meet the Mediterranean. In summer, nightlife and water sports shape the resort’s rhythm; beyond the centre, coastal paths lead toward the headland.
