Cape Greco is a beach and national park in the south-east of Cyprus. It is at the southern end of Famagusta bay, between the towns of Ayia Napa and Protaras. It is very popular with tourists due to its natural beauty and amazing sea views. It is also said to be the home of the Ayia Napa sea monster, according to local folklore.
Getting there
If you are travelling from Ayia Napa by car, it’s just a five minute drive (about one mile) up the Protaras road.
What to do at Cape Greco
I recommend coming prepared for swimming and sunbathing, because the sea shore here is amazing. There are crystal clear blue waters for swimming, snorkelling and diving, as well as cliffs and sea caves that you can explore. You will also be able to take boat tours and go fishing here, and partake in water sports like jet-skiing.
There are also nine different walks for people that want to take in the surrounding beauty. You will see some inspiring views here, and you may also come across birds, lizards, foxes, hares and hedgehogs. The two kilometre Aphrodite trail commemorates the mythical goddess who is so famous here.
Another trail leads down to the Agii Anargyri church, below which Holy Water can be found, according to local legend. I also recommend taking the walk to the Cyclops caves, which is a beautiful spot to sit and relax in the sun for a while.
