Ayia Napa, now officially Agia Napa, is THE nightlife location in the Mediterranean part of Cyprus. Ayia Napa is literally Greek for “Saint Napa”, the town’s patron saint whose monastery is located right smack at the center of town, right next to to the city’s clubbing central. Ayia Napa has recently built a reputation for itself as a “dance party capital”. Agia Napa is small enough to be a walkable town, or you can also use bikes.

Let’s dispense with the historic part of town before we go have fun. The Ayia Napa Monastery, a building that was built in the 1500’s, is the one cultural site that you have to visit in town.

Now, let’s hit the beaches! The most infamous beach among the most incredible beaches in Cyprus is the Nissi Beach where bars, clubs, blond beauties and hunks flock over the summer holidays. You have make sure that you get there early though to reserve some space for yourself as it tends to get over-crowded.

Farther away as Makronisos Beach which is probably nicer, less busy and more family- oriented.
The beautiful Grecian Bay is closest to the center of Agia Napa, and stretches along three coves to the east of the small fishing harbor.

For the famous nightlife, you just have to jump to The Square, probably one of the, if not the, best area for bars such as Bedrock and The Castle Club. Clubs and bars are open until the break of dawn, so the night scene usually starts late.

What else do you want to see in a party place?
