Makronissos tombs and Ayia Napa
Visit the rock-cut tombs at Makronissos, then make a separate connection to the monastery square in Ayia Napa.
Format: Driving heritage outing
Why follow this sequence
Visit the rock-cut tombs at Makronissos, then make a separate connection to the monastery square in Ayia Napa.
Stops and choices
- Makronissos Tombs
Combine archaeology and the coast without treating the tombs as a beach facility. Stay on permitted paths and keep the tomb visit distinct from swimming or a restaurant stop.
- Agia Napa Monastery
Start with the square and the monastery exterior. An exterior heritage walk remains useful without promising interior access; connect it to the harbour only if you want a town-to-seafront outing.
Practical decisions
The tombs and monastery represent different periods and settings. This is a drive between heritage stops, not a walk across the whole region.
