Postcard From Ayia Napa - 2022
Published 25th of July, 2022
And There's More
Next to it there is the monastery and its grounds. I know to a lot of people that Ayia Napa is just seen as a Tourist area, but it has a lot of history behind it. The monastery dates back hundreds of years, and has left an indelible stamp on the area.
Big Wall
Years ago, the monastery received its water supply via an aquaduct. It is well worth visiting.
Aquaduct Top
What surprised me when I visited, was harrow narrow it was at the top. I have more shots of the aquaduct but I think it deserves its own article.
The Sculpture Park
I love the Sculpture Park at Ayia Napa. Always worth a visit.
New Ducks
Between the Sculpture Park and the Cactus Park they have created a new pond, complete with noisy, squabbling ducks.

Ayia Napa is Gearing Up!
Last week we went on our annual pilgrimage to Protaras, Paralimni and Ayia Napa. What would we find when we got there? Would anything be open, would the beaches be crowded? Is it worth visiting? Read on and find out. In our first blog we will concentrate on the seaside.
Ayia Napa Sculpture Park
The Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa was built in 2014, and since then has been delighting tourists and locals alike with its eclectic range of art work. Last summer we visited the area and had to include it on our itinerary. What started as an orderly photo shoot soon descended into an excited clamber along the many paths that criss-cross the landscape of the park. Far too numerous to feature them all, we present some of the many weird and wonderful sculptures you can see when you visit this wonderful park.Related Pages
MapPostcard From Ayia Napa, 2022
Once a year we spend a year in the East of the Island, visiting Ayia Napa, Protaras and the surrounding area. We always enjoy our visit, though it is nice to come back to our beloved Polemi. There is a lot more to the East than sandy beaches and partying. This is a selection of some of the sights we saw.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
