Website http://www.ayianapa.org.cy/
in fulfilling its vision, upgrades in public infrastructure and the
hospitality sector (hotels and restaurants), shutting down problem
establishments, and attracted mega projects such as the 220 million euro marina.[10] Additionally, major events and festivals have
been added to the calendar, in order to improve the quality of the resort and promote its cosmopolitan aspects.[11] The vision set
by the city is supported by the Cyprus Tourism Strategy, which for 2030 was completed in March 2017,[12] and which sets as a
vision for Ayia Napa the following: Ayia Napa should aspire to be regarded as one of Europe’s top three beach and nightclubbing
holiday destinations, with a customer value proposition (CVP) offering the best beach and marine experience in Cyprus for
young adults, complemented by international standard beach clubs and nightlife.

The strategy evaluates the quality of Ayia Napa as 3.4/5 and proposes that its future direction should be an increase in quality in
all the areas of the tourism product from accommodation to nightlife having as a goal to increase its quality evaluation to 4.4/5
[13]

On March 6, 2018 the city announced a shift on its tourism strategy, having as a main goal turning low quality nightlife into a
cosmopolitan nightlife.[14][15] The city council, after hearing all the stakeholders of the Ayia Napa tourism, voted unanimously
against the low quality youth tourist product (organised youth) which typically misbehaves and does not respect the laws of
Cyprus and with their actions create negative publicity for the resort and do damage to the reputation of the Ayia Napa brand,
which, according to the announcement, the city has worked very hard to reposition and reintroduce in the last years.[16][17][18]

History
According to local legend, the area around the monastery was accidentally discovered by a hunter in pursuit of his prey. Upon
discovery, the icon of the Virgin Mary in the area was called Virgin Mary of Napa, eventually shortened to Ayia Napa. The
monastery, built in 1100, was built around a cave, in honour of the Virgin Mary of Ayia Napa. According to local tradition,
nobody lived within close vicinity of Ayia Napa until 1790. The first inhabitant was Nikolaos Kemitzis from Thessaloniki, who
arrived from Greece around 1790 and settled in the village of Panayia, located on the northeastern part of Ayia Napa. Kemitzis
had a fight with the Ottoman authorities who ruled Cyprus at the time, and decided to move near the monastery of Ayia Napa.

Government Recognition Awards and Statistics

The Government of Cyprus, recognizing the importance of Ayia Napa to Cyprus' economy, decided in 2014 to characterize Ayia
Napa as a main city-urban center.[19][20][21] This was credited to the efforts of the mayor of Ayia Napa, Yiannis Karousos.[22]

Today, Ayia Napa is the largest tourist resort in Cyprus, with a 27,000-person-bed capacity and more than 175 hotels and
apartments of all sizes. In 2017, the resort received over 700,000 tourists and accommodated 5 million overnight stays,[23]
representing approximately 30% of all Cyprus overnight stays.[24] The city of Ayia Napa has the seventh largest budget of the 30
active municipalities of Cyprus, and employs 280 people.

The City was recognized as a Prime City Destination by the Oxford Business Assembly, and was awarded in 2018 the
International flag of investment and innovation attractiveness 'Flag of Europe" and the International Certificate of Excellence in
Investment and Innovation (ICEII).[25][26]

Geography
Ayia Napa lies near Cape Greco at the eastern part of Cyprus, south of Famagusta, and forms part of a larger area known as
Kokkinochoria ("Red Villages", a name derived from the vivid red colour of the soil). It is a town of the Famagusta District, in the
remaining Greek-controlled southern part of the district, while the northern part has been occupied by Turkish forces since 1974.

Ayia Napa is about 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from Protaras, a town that has seen similar development but still manages to remain
low-key and more favourable for families and Cypriot locals.

Beaches
The resort has twenty-seven beaches, of which fourteen have been awarded the blue flag award, more than any other resort in
Cyprus.[27][28] In 2018, it was announced that Nissi Beach ranked as third in the list of the most popular beaches on
Instagram.[29][30][31] A CNN feature ranked Nissi Beach as the best beach to visit for the month of July 2018.[32] In 2011, it
came first in the TripAdvisor list of the best beaches in Europe[33] In 2017, Makronissos Beach was chosen by Travel weekly as
the third best beach for Cyprus and Greece.[34]

Cultural sites and events

Sites
Ayia Napa Medieval Monastery is the main point of significant historical interest
in the Ayia Napa area.[35] The Makronissos Tombs are an archaeological site
consisting of set of ancient rock-cut tombs, an adjacent sanctuary and quarry,
and evidence of funeral pyres.[36][37]

The town contains two municipal marine museums: the Tornaritis-Pierides

Museum of Marine Life and the Thalassa Agia Napa Municipal Museum (also Nissi Beach
known as the Thalassa Museum of the Sea). The former, founded in 1992,
displays marine fossils, specimens, and dioramas.[38] The latter, founded in
2005, displays the "marine heritage of Cyprus, from prehistoric times to the present" and features a full-scale replica of a c. 300
BCE merchant ship which was salvaged during the 1960s.[39][40]

The Ayia Napa Sculpture Park, which is located on the east side of Ayia Napa, was inaugurated in May 2014 with seventeen
sculptures. By 2017, the sculpture park contained 144 sculptures through the participation of 104 sculptors. The sculpture park
has gained worldwide recognition and was accepted as a member to the International Sculpture Symposium Alliance,[41] and has
been turned into an international attraction, with the participation of artists from all over the world. [42]

Festivals
The Ayia Napa International Festival was first held in September 1985 and has since been established as an annual event, usually
over the last weekend of September. It takes place in Sepheris Square in Ayia Napa Monastery. The festivities reflect the historic,
cultural and agricultural traditions of Ayia Napa and Cyprus as a whole. The programme includes theater performances, operas,
concerts, and Cypriot and foreign folk dancing.[43] Visitors can also enjoy art and photo exhibitions, wood carving and
silversmithing workshops, and culinary shows with halloumi cheese making.[44]

The Ayia Napa Youth Festival was established in 2010[45] when the Ayia Napa Youth Council accepted the proposal of its
president Yiannis Karousos and decided to organise a festival similar to the large music festivals of Europe. The festival is based
on several principles such as free entrance, the headliners to be chosen by the public, a charity goal, and a social responsibility
message attached to it. All styles of music are welcome. At the first festival, which took place at the harbour square of Ayia Napa,
more than 10,000 people visited the festival during the three-day period with bands such as the Greek reggae act Locomondo,
pop-rock band MPLE, and hip hop band Stavento featuring Ivi Adamou. 25 rock and metal bands performed. In 2011, the Ayia
Napa Youth Festival became international and included the bands Stratovarius, Sabaton, Rotting Christ, Nightstalker, and other
bands from all over Europe. The 3rd Ayia Napa Youth Festival took place in 2012.

World record
Following the proposal of Mayor Yiannis Karousos,[46] then President of the Ayia Napa Tourism Committee, on September 16,
2007, the world's longest chain of syrtaki dancers (a famous Greek dance) danced to "Zorba the Greek" in a successful attempt to
enter the Guinness Book of World Records. The chain had a total of 268 members of eight dancing groups. Then Ayia Napa
Mayor Antonis Tsokkos said the aim of the event was to send the message that the village was interested in Greek culture and to
promote the tourist resort abroad. Head of Cultural Services Maria Tofini said that, according to the Guinness Book of World
Records, the dancers had to perform in synchronised step for the attempt to qualify. The event drew the attention of tourists and
locals, many of whom danced on the beach and in the sea.[47]

the management of the beaches it had to take some very difficult decisions and implement them [48] the Mayor
