Monastery and ancient tombs
Ayia Napa
- 1
Ayia Napa Monastery
The monastery provides historical depth in a town better known for modern resort development. Its enclosed courtyard, stone arcades and older religious spaces create a quiet architectural core, and the contrast with surrounding streets makes the survival of the complex particularly legible. The stop works especially well when placed beside nearby sites from the same region, because the contrast in landscape, architecture or historical period makes the wider character of Cyprus easier to understand.

Makronissos Tombs
Makronissos provides a manageable archaeological stop that can be combined with the south-eastern coast. The tomb chambers show burial practices without the scale of Paphos’s larger necropolis, and the exposed limestone setting makes the relationship between geology and construction easy to see. The stop works especially well when placed beside nearby sites from the same region, because the contrast in landscape, architecture or historical period makes the wider character of Cyprus easier to understand.

Headlands, caves and bay
Cape Greco
- 1
Cape Greco National Forest Park
Cape Greco offers one of the island’s clearest combinations of walking and coastal geology. Trails cross low scrub before reaching cliffs and open sea, and the landscape changes quickly between sheltered coves and exposed headlands. It is best treated as a wider park rather than a single viewpoint, with heat and wind influencing route choice.

Cape Greco Sea Caves
The sea caves concentrate Cape Greco’s geology into a dramatic stretch of shoreline. Openings, ledges and eroded rock reveal the constant action of waves on limestone, while the elevated viewpoints give a broad sense of the south-eastern coast. The site is primarily for observing the landscape; cliff and sea conditions require care.

Konnos Bay
Konnos Bay is worth including because it shows a softer, more sheltered side of the Cape Greco coast. The beach sits below pine-covered slopes and connects naturally with nearby walking routes, allowing a coast day to combine swimming, viewpoints and forested paths. Seasonal crowding and beach services vary, so current conditions should be checked.
