Visiting Ayia Napa Sea Caves

The Ayia Napa Sea Caves are a stretch of low limestone cliffs riddled with arches, grottoes and clear deep water along the road toward Cape Greco — a favourite for cliff-jumping, snorkelling and dramatic photos.

Getting there

On the coast road between Ayia Napa and Cape Greco; signed pull-offs lead to the caves.

Parking

Informal clifftop parking near the caves.

Best time to go

Morning on a calm-sea day, when the water is clearest and safest for swimming.

Konnos Bay

A sheltered horseshoe of fine sand and glass-clear turquoise between two pine-topped headlands — the prettiest swim on the east coast, reached on foot from the cape.

Fig Tree Bay

The icon of Protaras: powder sand, shallow warm water and a little islet you can swim out to, named for the lone fig tree that has stood here for centuries.
