Take a day away from the beach and get some healthy exercise walking in the fresh air and exploring the countryside where a whole "other" world exists beyond the discos and pubs of lively Agia Napa.

Be well prepared. Dress comfortably wearing a sunhat, a comfortable trainers and sunscreen. Take plenty of water and a snack of two and do not forget the camera. Begin bright and early before it gets too warm and follow the track along the coastline leading from the end of Kryou Nerou Avenue into the easternmost boundary of Agia Napa. A famous area for collecting snails and limpets, Cape Greco is also a popular place to hike and discover nature's glorious flora and fauna. People cycle and walk along the nature paths where juniper is in season throughout the year and miniature pine trees line the trails

The THALASSA Agia Napa Municipal was opened in August 2005 and it is directed by the Pierides Foundation, in association with the Hellenic Institute for the Preservation of Nautical Tradition and the Tornaritis-Pierides Marine Life Foundation.

The Agia Napa Monastery is the most popular symbol of Agia Napa but there are several other symbols, small rural churches and chapels in and around the area that reflect the unspoiled character of the countryside and the ever traditional inner human spirit that still has a special significance in today's modern changing world. These, in some cases, tiny rural churches, are subsidised and supported by Agia Napa inhabitants. Every chapel is dedicated to a patron Saint, where once a year, there is a day of celebration in honour to that Saint.

One of Agia Napa's most interesting discoveries found west of Agia Napa village in the locality of Makronissos, was the discovery of an ancient burial site. Between November 1989 and earl/January 1990. the Municipality of Agia Napa sponsored intensive excavations of the rock-cut tombs, which have been the target of illegal digging since 1872.

One of the most important monuments preserved within the boundaries of the Agia Napa municipality is the aqueduct, which for hundreds of years supplied with water the monastery and the whole region. Archaeological remains found west of the monastery, in the vicinity of the Agia Thekla chapel, but in particular at the locality of Filina, provide evidence for the presence of an earlier aqueduct dating to the Roman period.
