Agia Napa Monastery: is a mediaeval monastery dedicated to ‘Our Lady of the forests,’ which is situated in the middle of Agia Napa, and surrounded by a high wall. The church, built in the 16th century, was cut into rock and part of the structure is actually underground. You’ll see an ancient sycamore standing in front of the south gate that is said to be more than 600 years old. Local legend has it that around the 11th century, a hunter with his dog chased a wild hare into a cave, and the hunter found himself facing an icon of the Virgin Mary. The news of this important discovery spread rapidly and the cave was transformed into a shrine, becoming a place of pilgrimage for the Orthodox Christians of the area. In 1994, a new Church was built to the south-west of the monastery, and was also dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Agios Antonios: is a Byzantine chapel that was built in the 16th century, situated at the border between Paralimni and Sotira. Agia Varvara chapel, also from the Byzantine period, is found in the western part of Agia Napa. Agii Anargyri Chapel: in the eastern part of Agia Napa, you’ll come across the Agii Anargyri chapel, situated on a spot overlooking the area’s rocky coast. Below the chapel is a cave, which reportedly contains water blessed by the saints. Makronissos Tombs: to the west of Agia Napa, in Makronissos, is a series of rock-cut tombs, excavated by the Cyprus Department of Antiquities. You’ll also see a small sanctuary that has been unearthed to the east of the tomb area and remnants of an ancient quarry. Agia Mavri: is in the western part of Agia Napa, and is a monolith featuring a pillar thought to have special powers. In the middle of the pillar you can see a hole that is said to be able to cure anyone of an illness, on passing through the hole. |
