CHURCHES IN AYIA NAPA

Church of the Holy Virgin mother of God
The increasing number of the village’s population raised the need for the building of a new church in 1990. The new church, built on the southwest of the monastery, is also dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Both churches celebrate on the 8th September, the day of the feast of the Virgin Mary’s birth.

Agia Varvara The chapel of Agia Varvara is in the western part of Agia Napa and was built during the Byzantine period. The chapel was destroyed by an earthquake and rebuilt only recently. There are many cells around the chapel that were once catacombs where the early Christians sought and found refuge when chased by heathens. |
Agia Mavri
Agia Mavri is a monolith in the western part of Agia Napa. In the middle of this pillar there is a hole where it is believed that anyone suffering from an illness will be cured if passed through. Archaeologist L. Cesnola refers in his writings to this monolith and said that women who came to the monolith and broke jars, could regain their lover's affections. A small church at the monolith was built recently to commemorate the Saint. View and review on TripAdvisor |
