Top 6 Monuments & Statues in Ayia Napa, Famagusta District
This resort town, with its great beaches, has a bit of a Spring Break atmosphere (the parties start in the late afternoon and go all night). If dancing in a bikini is not your thing, though, no worries—you can explore a medieval monastery or enjoy cruises on the lovely blue water. Families will want to visit Water World, the biggest theme waterpark in Europe.

The modern art that has been erected in the harbour area in recent years has certainly raised the profile of the harbour area especially on a night time when the diners and tourists are out and about.

Reviewed By Brianngog - Avgorou, Cyprus
On the edge of Cape Greco Park just off the Gravel Track to The Sea Caves sits yet another of Mother Nature’s fine Creations - The Juniper Tree. Although these Trees were plentiful in bygone days they were cut down to provide Fuel for the nearby Flour Mills. However not to be defeated Mother Nature still has this one to allow Locals & Tourists sit awhile and reflect on how the area must have once been. There is a Seating Area and popular for Wedding Photographs. Easy to find and well worth Ten Minutes of your time to appreciate this Wonder.
