Ayia Napa resort grew up around the 12th century monastery of the same name. It is an endless party and one of the best seaside destinations with the largest concentration of beaches in the country. The coastline is impressive with its strikingly turquoise waters and varied beach infrastructure. The epicenter of the fun is the trendy Nissi Beach; family tourists prefer the tranquil Makronissos or the tiny Pernera Bay in the east.
