Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa, once a mere fishing village within the Famagusta region, has grown into one of the most popular tourist resorts in Europe, appealing to families with or without chidren, singles, and couples, both straight and gay.
Historically, there are several churches and museums to visit, particularly the Thalassa Museum with
its lifesize replica of the “Kyrenia II” from 400 BC.
Nearby is the harbour area of Ayia Napa, a quaint port no longer used for commercial trade, from
where a number of pleasure cruises leave for between a few hours and all day, as well as fishing
boat trips for those interested in deep sea fishing.
Home to several of the 14 beaches of the area that have been awarded the European Union Blue Flag
for cleanliness, Ayia Napa’s reputation of its eclectic nightlife has spread worldwide! With a
multitude of nightclubs, all within a 1 kilometre radius of the town centre, whatever type of music
you like, you are sure to find it there. Not for the faint-hearted, music starts blaring from bars
and nightclubs around 10-11pm and finishes considerably later in the night.
