Cyprus Property Lawyers – Review – Agia Napa Cultural places to visit

Agia Napa has so much culture on offer it is very easy to get lost in the party atmosphere. It is very true that Agia Napa is the party capital of Cyprus having many bars and clubs and also many dining venues to choose from.  But if you put that aside and have a good look around there are many very beautiful and wonderful places of culture to visit.

Let’s take a look at the unique and very well preserved Agia Napa Monastery.  The Monastery is situated right next to theAgia Napa Squarefamous for the night life but during the day time it is very peaceful and although it is not used as a place of worship anymore, it is very well taken care of and open for the public to visit.

The monastery is so pretty you have to see for yourself and you get such a feeling of history and peace once inside the Monastery even for the heavy clubbers we feel this is the case! The central court yard is surrounded by delightful buildings and a small and wonderful chapel.  Many newly married couples come here to have their wedding photos taken as the scenery is so exquisite.

It really is a must visit for everyone on their trip to the East Coast.  Also prominent in Agia Napa is the delightful harbour a little walk down from the Monastery.  The harbour boasts many traditional fish taverns and other restaurants and tourist shops.  There are pedestrian walkways around the harbour that is home to many of the local fisherman’s boating vessels and themed cruise ships that take visitors on trips frequently throughout the day.  Totally a must see for all ages.

Also Agia Napa is home to the Thalassa museum.  TheThalassaMuseumis a hi-tech modern building boasting three floors of years and years ofCyprushistory and cultural monuments. The main attraction is the ship known as the Kyrenia II a copy of the original ship built in 302BC.  It is set out as it was found shipwrecked in 1967 on theCyprusshores. You can see this shipwreck from many angles and even stand on a glass floor and look down on to it. There are many many ancient artefacts to see and this is another must see on your visit to the East Coast of Cyprus.

Put one day aside from out beautiful coastlines …. And see the trueCyprusit really will be a worth while memory!
