Limanaki Ayia Napa - Ayia Napa Harbour. Boats, Restaurants, Shops and more.
Ayia Napa harbour area is a must visit part of the town and offers something to see and do both in the daytimes and at night. It has spectacular views out towards Cape Greco and over the Mediterranean sea.
Once a tiny fishing shelter, these days the traditional fishing boats rub shoulders with all sorts of modern tourist submarines and pirate ships. Much of the resorts fresh fish is still landed here and if you're up early enough you can purchase fresh fish straight off the boat.
The harbour is pretty and generally quite peaceful and is a great place to spend an hour or two just soaking up the atmosphere.
