Ayia Napa Harbor
Ayia Napa’s harbor area is a must-visit part of the town and offers something to see and do both during the daytime and at night. It has spectacular views out towards Cape Greco and over the Mediterranean Sea. Once a tiny fishing shelter, these days the traditional fishing boats rub shoulders with all sorts of modern tourist submarines and pirate ships. Much of the resort’s fresh fish is still landed here, and if you’re up early enough, you can purchase fish straight off the boat. The harbor is pretty and generally peaceful, and it’s a great place to spend an hour or two just soaking up the atmosphere.
Ayia Napa Medieval Monastery
The charming medieval monastery of Agia Napa stands in the middle of the village and was built in the form of a medieval castle around 1500 AD. The monastery is partially built underground and is cut into the rock, surrounded by a high wall. It is dedicated to ‘Our Lady of the Forests, with the name coming from the ancient Greek word for a wooded valley (‘Napa’) as a result of the area’s past topography. The ancient sycamore tree in front of the south gate is believed to be over 600 years old.
