Ayia Napa is a popular resort with a vibrant nightlife, ideal for a youth holiday. No wonder Ayia Napa (or Ayia Napa) is often called the "second Ibiza": a huge number of discos, bars and taverns confirm this status. Aquapark, wide beaches with golden sand and small safe sea make this place attractive for families with children.
However, one of the tusovka centers of Cyprus was once a modest village of fishermen, where the only attraction was the monastery Ayyas Napas. According to legend, many centuries ago on this place grew impenetrable forests, where often hunted residents of nearby villages. One day one of them in this one came across a cave in which the ancient icon of the Virgin Mary was kept. People considered this a good sign and since then they began to build their homes here. And they called this place Ayia Napa, which means "Sacred forests".

Hotels in Ayia Napa
At the beginning of the season (April-May), when an uneven-aged audience comes to Ayia Napa, it is relatively quiet there. But in the height of summer, the resort is mostly raging youth. To the choice of the accommodation facility at this time should be approached extremely carefully: if near the hotel the discotheque rattles the whole night, and most of the guests return to the room by four in the morning, who are hardly tired of the day from child pampering and the parents who have barely calmed down their children will be happy about it.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Ayia Napa
In the vicinity of Ayia Napa there are monuments of early civilizations. In the western part of the city were discovered the ruins of the ancient settlement of Makronisos, in which there is a sanctuary like the one built by the ancient Greeks, and nineteen crypts were found directly in the rock.
Here is the largest thematic water park in Europe, its concept is based on ancient Greek mythology. It was opened in the late 90s of the last century, but still does not stop expanding.
With the onset of darkness, the fun does not stop here, but rather grows faster - which is not surprising, because Ayia Napa is primarily a fashionable youth resort. The city has a huge number of night clubs, where the best DJs of Europe play their sets. There is even a street called the Club because of the unusual concentration of entertainment facilities with different thematic and musical directions.
But if you prefer to spend your leisure more informative, then you will certainly like the Museum of the Sea, which is located in the building of the City Hall. Among its exhibits there are such inhabitants of the sea depths, which are never found in natural conditions. Also very near is the Peasant House, where the history of the development and daily life of local residents is very brightly illustrated.
Less than ten kilometers from the city, there is a place with amazing landscapes - Cape Greco. Here in the rocks there are unique caves-castles, created by nature itself. At this point, the water rather peculiarly sharpens the stone, so it's hard to believe that the human hand did not touch these architectural structures.
You can also visit the Venetian monastery of the 16th century and two neighboring villages - Paralimni, the center of pottery, and Liopetri, famous for its masters of weaving baskets. Also fed up with felting on beaches or "annealing" in clubs, tourists will be able to unwind in the dolphinarium, go to the "sea safari" or to the "ghost town" of Famagusta. Photos of Ayia Napa (29)
