Ayia Napa
The heart of fun in Cyprus
Ayia Napa is Cyprus's beach-party capital: powder-soft Nissi Beach by day and one of the Mediterranean's loudest club strips by night. Beyond the bars it has turned surprisingly family-friendly, with a marina, sea caves and the Cape Greco trails a short hop away.

Top things to do in Ayia Napa
The most popular sights, with 2026 entrance fees. Prices are adult admission — cheapest at the gate. Many of the best things are free.
| Attraction | Entrance | Time | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissi Beach | Free | half day | Ayia Napa's signature white-sand cove with shallow turquoise water and a small tidal islet you can wade or swim out to; the busiest beach in town, lined with sunbeds, bars and watersports. |
| Cape Greco National Forest Park & Sea Caves | Free | half day | A protected Natura 2000 headland east of Ayia Napa with coastal hiking trails, cliff-top viewpoints and the carved-limestone sea caves (locally the 'Palaces') that can be explored on foot at low tide or by kayak. |
| WaterWorld Themed Waterpark | €49 | full day | A large Greek-mythology-themed waterpark with slides, wave pools and a lazy river, widely rated one of the best waterparks in Europe; the top paid attraction in Ayia Napa. |
| Ayia Napa Monastery | Free | 1 hour | A well-preserved 16th-century Venetian-era monastery built around a cave spring, now the town's historic centrepiece with a shaded courtyard, sycamore tree and octagonal fountain. |
| Love Bridge (Lovers' Bridge) | Free | 30-45 minutes | A natural limestone sea arch on the Cape Greco coastline where couples pose for photos and, by local tradition, kiss and make a wish; one of the most-photographed spots in the region. |
| Ayia Napa Marina | Free | 1-2 hours | A modern 600-berth marina and waterfront promenade with restaurants, boutiques and superyachts, plus a small artificial beach; a newer landmark that has become a popular evening stroll. |
| Makronissos Beach | Free | half day | A quieter, longer stretch of golden sand west of Nissi Beach, backed by a small archaeological site of Hellenistic-Roman rock-cut tombs; popular with families for calmer water. |
| Ayia Napa Sculpture Park | Free | 1-2 hours | A free open-air gallery on the clifftop east of town with over 200 sculptures by artists from around the world set among cacti and sea views; adjoins the Cape Greco Environmental Centre. |
| Thalassa Municipal Museum of the Sea | €4 | 1-1.5 hours | A municipal museum covering 7,000 years of maritime history in Cyprus, centred on a full-scale replica of the 4th-century-BC Kyrenia shipwreck; the town's main indoor cultural attraction. |
| Parko Paliatso Luna Park | Free | 1-2 hours | A long-running amusement park in the centre of Ayia Napa with over 25 rides including a Ferris wheel with town views; a family-friendly evening stop rather than a daytime sight. |
