Sea Caves

The Ayia Napa sea caves are a must see landmark along the stunning coastline at the edge of Ayia Napa. Marking the start of the Cape Greco national forest park, there are impressive rock bridges, hidden caves and tunnels. As well as being amazing to look at, the sea caves extend for up to 80 metres underground and are only partially submerged. They can be explored on foot at low tide and this area is popular for snorkeling, diving and just swimming in the crystal clear water. The legend is that the caves were once used by pirates to store their bounty and the cavernous tunnels, bridges and rock formations were a perfect spot for the seafarers to hide out.

The Ayia Napa sea caves can be reached by land and sea and almost all boat trips from Ayia Napa stop here to view the caves and dramatic natural structures. 

There are many activities than can be enjoyed at the sea caves including fishing, cliff jumping, diving, snorkeling and swimming in the crystal clear waters.

The 10 metre high cliffs are a popular place with cliff jumpers and local fishermen say this is a great spot to catch octopus. There is an abundance of sea life to be observed and the caves are an impressive sight from both sea level and from the cliffs above.
