You can also choose from several jeep safari trips. These getaways are excellent for singles, groups or families.

Sea Caves

If you want to stay around the seacoast area but want to get away from the high intensity of Ayia napa’s party scene the sea caves are the place to go. They are located just outside the city, about 5 miles east of the city. It is a great place take that nice bike ride. Pack a lunch and especially bring a camera! The shore line is riddled with all sorts of nature’s creative art as the water fashioned the rock into all sorts of interesting shapes.
