Liopetri River
Located just past the western edge of Ayia Napa is Potamos Liopetri, or Liopetri River. This small fishing enclave boasts some idyllic scenery and is a peaceful and relaxing area.
NOTE: This area is under development and is being upgraded. The restaurants area still open but access to the river is currently not possible.
Fishing here has pretty much gone unchanged for decades and the river is home to an eclectic mix of traditional and modern fishing vessels. A small sand and rocky beach and 2 excellent fish restaurants make this area well worth a visit. In springtime the surrounding countryside is abundant with wildflowers and it is easy to forget that the hustle and bustle of the centre of Ayia Napa is just a few miles away.
Anyone visiting Ayia Napa should take an hour or so out to visit this sleepy backwater.
Bus route 501/502 runs hourly between Ayia Napa centre and Potamos Liopetri (route ends in Paralimni village)
