Originally a fishing village it is now
a major tourist resort and an ideal place to start any holiday especially when you hire a car and tour the island.
The charming medieval
monastery dedicated
to 'Our Lady of the
Forests' stands in the
middle of the village
surrounded by a high
wall. Its 16th century
church is partly
underground and cut
into the rock. The
Marine Life Museum
can be found within
the premises of the
Ayia Napa Municipality.
This area is very popular for young people looking for Cyprus holidays filled
with lively nightlife.
Great choice of rental vehicles to hire from Cypriot locations
