Why Ayia Napa matters

Ayia Napa is best known for its beaches and lively summer nightlife, but it has more to offer than that. Beaches such as Nissi are shallow and sandy, a medieval monastery stands in the old centre, and the cliffs and sea caves of the cape are close by. It is busy in July and August. Visit in spring or autumn for a calmer feel.

Talking points

  • Nissi Beach is one of the island's best-known beaches.
  • Cliff paths and sea caves sit near Cape Greco.
  • A medieval monastery stands in the town centre.
