Ayia Napa Cyprus
Agia Napa
Ayia Napa is
situated on the east-coast of Cyprus and is famous for it's swinging and noisy
nightlife. This very popular resort was once a small fishing village
which took its name from the Greek word napa meaning wooded
valley.
There are over 200 clubs and bars around the square with
entrance to most clubs costing around C£10 and drinks C£2. The nearby
Luna Park fairground has a variety of rides which include the
Skycoaster and the Aerodium Atlantis Waterpark is the largest
theme park in Europe and about 3km from the center of
town.
Amidst all this activity is a beautiful monastery where they
say a miraculous icon was found and given the name - Saint of the wooded
valley, hence the name of the resort.
A well was also found in the
cave and in 1530 the shrine became a church and later a monastery. Outside is
a huge fig tree wich is said to be over 600 years old.
The beaches
are excellent and some of the best in Cyprus, however during high
summer they do become very crowded. There are also many great attractions to see in this lovely resort.
