In the immediate vicinity of the resort is an interesting nature reserve - the Cape Greco. It occupies an area of 380 hectares, and provides a great choice of tourist. You can simply take a stroll around the park and admire its inhabitants, or you can go on a cycling tour in search of the most beautiful places. Within the reserve there are several limestone caves, which can only be seen at low tide. These caves attract many visitors including divers. Cape Greco is considered one of the most romantic places in the world. There is a beautiful arch, which is called "Bridge of Love", and even an old church, which hosts wedding ceremonies.
Among the historical attractions of Ayia Napa, the Venetian monastery stands out. The history of the monastery building is fascinating; a few hundred years ago, a dense forest was located in its place. It was later cut down, leaving just one sycamore tree alive. It continues to grow in the territory of the monastery and now the old tree impresses with its size. According to the tradition, the monastery was founded directly over the cave where the locals once found an icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Monastery is remarkable from an architectural point of view, as it is partly carved into the rock. Today it is a very intriguing museum.
