Ayia Napa Monastery, Ayia Napa, Cyprus



Just in the centre of Ayia Napa you will find a spectacular Venetian decorated monastery with a 600-year-old Sycamore tree by the entrance. It is one of the best known landmarks of the Agia Napa area. The monastery has a charm and charisma that represents a time when Ayia Napa was just a tranquil fishing village. It also occurs that in ancient times, the location where the monastery and the village exists today, was covered with a thick forest, visited only by hunters from the neighbouring villages.

Ayia Napa lies near Cape Greco at the eastern part of Cyprus, just south of Famagusta and forms part of a larger area known as Kokkinochoria (a name derived from the red colour of its soil).
