While you may come to Ayia Napa to party or chill by the pool, there is plenty to keep you busy if you fancy a change of pace.

Or if you've missed sunrise and still want to spend a day by the beach, popular Nissi Beach is an incredible stretch of beach, awarded a Blue Flag, or nearby Landa Beach if it's gotten a little too busy.
If it's a bit of activity you are after, WaterWorld Waterpark is the perfect way to enjoy the day, with wild slides for the adults and kids' areas for the little ones. Or head over to the far eastern corner and take a walk around Cape Greco National Forest Park, with various walks and trails to explore, as well as a visit to the Kamara Tou Koraka Stone Arch which you may have spotted across social media.
