Things to Do in Ayia Napa: The Ultimate Guide

Ayia Napa is one of the Mediterranean's most exciting destinations — and there's far more to discover than its famous beaches and nightlife. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning for another summer, here's your complete guide to the best things to do in Ayia Napa.

1. Explore the Sea Caves at Cape Greco

Just a short drive from the town centre, the natural sea caves of Cape Greco are a must-see. The turquoise waters, dramatic rock formations, and snorkelling spots make this one of the most photographed locations in Cyprus.

2. Visit the Medieval Monastery

Right in the heart of Ayia Napa, the 16th-century monastery is a peaceful escape from the buzz of the resort. Free to enter and beautifully preserved — don't miss it.

3. Take a Private Sightseeing Tour

The best way to see everything Ayia Napa and the surrounding area has to offer is with a private guided tour. Skip the hassle of hiring a car and let a local expert take you to the highlights — including hidden gems most tourists never find.

5. Relax at Nissi Beach

No visit to Ayia Napa is complete without a day at Nissi Beach — one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Mediterranean. Arrive early for the best spots.
