About Ayia Napa

Steeped in ancient history and Cypriot culture, Ayia Napa is so much more than Cyprus’s clubbing capital. In fact, the resort has been attracting families for many years. One of the most striking things about Ayia Napa is its long sandy beaches and picturesque harbour area. The current moorings for a plethora of leisure craft now stand on the exact site of the tiny fishing harbour, which 20 years ago was nothing more than a settlement of some 200 people

Ayia Napa – a popular resort

Along with its clubs, restaurants and bars located above the monastery square area, the lower resort and harbour/beach district draws in huge numbers of local and international tourists. Many Cypriot families from the capital city, Nicosia own holiday homes near the town and the well-known Nissi Beach can be particularly busy during the annual Cyprus holiday period. This area, along with what is reputed to be Europe’s largest themed water park is a big favourite with many local and visiting families.

A town steeped in history and local culture

Boasting one of the islands oldest medieval monasteries and a mostly intact and functioning aqueduct which follows the route of an original Roman construct, the town is steeped in history. A number of museums and other local sites make the town a fascinating place to explore, while there are also several remains of ancient churches close by.

The local municipality is a strong supporter of Cyprus culture and sponsors a number of cultural events throughout the holiday season. These attractions include a highly popular music festival which draws in thousands of visitors from all over the Island and an annual Medieval Festival which is appropriately hosted close to the monastery from the same period.
