Ayia Napa Monastery

The Ayia Napa monastery is located in the very centre of the town. The name "Ayia Napa" comes from "Icon of Virgin Mary of the forest", and means Holy Forest after an icon of the Virgin Mary was found by a hunter in a cave in the woods here. The hunter’s dog was first to see the glowing icon and began barking calling over his master. Many believers heard about the icon and started visiting the cave to see the icon and it became a holy place. The icon is believed to have been put in the cave during the 7th-8th century during the period of iconoclasm when religious images were destroyed.

It is not known exactly when the monastery was built but the church around the cave where the icon was found was built in the 14th century. There is evidence of a Christian community here from the Byzantine era so Ayia Napa got its name before the year 1366.

The monastery as it is today was built in the 15th century with the cave church at its centre. It was built by the Venetians who were the rulers of Cyprus at that time.

Sculpture Park Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa's sculpture park was inaugurated in 2014 to create a completely new tourist experience. The open-air sculpture museum features both large and small works of art created by more than 40 sculptors from around the world.

Located at the eastern edge of Ayia Napa the sculpture park covers an area of 20,000 sq.m. The rocky landscape slopes down to the sea and provides a serene and peaceful backdrop to this visually exciting display of modern artwork.

Ayia Napa's Marine and History Museum - Thalassa Museum

The Thalassa Museum in Ayia Napa is located a few minutes walk from the town centre and also from the harbour. It is operated by the Pierides Foundation, in association with the Hellenic Institute for the Preservation of Nautical Tradition and the Tornaritis-Pierides Marine Life Foundation. It opened in 2005 and gives visitors a huge insight into the local culture of Ayia Napa and the wider area of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean.

The main focus of the museum is the sea and its impact on the history and traditions of the island of Cyprus. The exhibits of the museum cover a wide chronological span, from paleontological and prehistoric periods up to present times.

The museum is a three-story building made of marble, onyx, wood, and metal and has an appealing, open aspect making it easy to enjoy the exhibits.

The Famous Sea Caves

The Ayia Napa sea caves are a must-see landmark along the stunning coastline at the edge of Ayia Napa. Marking the start of the Cape Greco National Forest Park, there are impressive rock bridges, hidden caves and tunnels. As well as being amazing to look at, the sea caves extend for up to 80 metres underground and are only partially submerged. They can be explored on foot at low tide and this area is popular for snorkeling, diving and just swimming in the crystal clear water. The legend is that the caves were once used by pirates to store their bounty and the cavernous tunnels, bridges and rock formations were a perfect spot for the seafarers to hide out.

The Ayia Napa sea caves can be reached by land and sea and almost all boat trips from Ayia Napa stop here to view the caves and dramatic natural structures.

Many activities can be enjoyed at the sea caves including fishing, cliff jumping, diving, snorkelling and swimming in the crystal clear waters.

​The 10 metre high cliffs are a popular place with cliff jumpers and local fishermen say this is a great spot to catch octopus. There is an abundance of sea life to be observed and the caves are an impressive sight from both sea level and from the cliffs above.
