Ayia Napa has been transformed from a sleepy fishing village into a lively resort that has something for all ages and contrary to popular belief this cosmopolitan town isn't all about bars and clubs for the younger generations. If you look closer you will discover that Ayia Napa is full of history and tradition and it would be impossible not to find something that would interest even the most fussiest visitor.

For example, did you know the center of the town is built around a medieval monastery? Surprisingly this has been well maintained over the centuries and is well worth a visit. Just to the side of the main square traditional folk dancing is performed over the summer season.

Although Ayia Napa has been portrayed as an 18-30s club scene area, these busy clubs and bars take up only a small proportion of the town (namely the center) and this area is only busy in July and August. Ayia Napa caters for families and couples throughout the year. If you don't want to visit the busy club scene area there are plenty of other attractions including;

• Bars
• Pubs
• Great shops
• Children's theme parks
• Adult theme parks
• Cafe's
• Karaoke bars
• Mini golf
• Water world Water Park Ayia Napa - the largest water theme park in Europe
• The Ocean Aquarium in nearby Protaras where you can meet the crocodiles, sharks and penguins, Fantastic restaurants not only offering local cuisine but a range of international dishes including Mexican and Japanese cuisines - the list is endless!
