Love Bridge is one of the most popular places in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. Parking is available nearby. Another highlight is less than 300m north. A sculpture park open 24/7, no entrance fee

The sculpture park is located at the intersection of Avenida Cavo Greco and Kryou Nerou, on a 20,000 m² site with incredible natural beauty and panoramic views. The contemporary artworks depict mythical animals and ancient gods, with a view of the sea in the background. The park is decorated with sculptures created by many world-renowned artists who participate in the sculpture symposium organized every year by the Municipality of Agia Napa. Further south is another highlight: Bridge of Love

A wonderful view (especially at sunset) to Agia Napa and across the sea from the viewpoint at Cape Greco. If you don't feel like climbing the 95-meter-high table mountain, you can drive to just below the summit and park there. There is also a small snack van there. For hiking enthusiasts, however, the route along the wildly rugged coast from Agia Napa, past the Sea Caves, is recommended. Remember to wear sun protection, as there is a little wind up there and only a covered picnic area offers some shade.

Perfect view. Wait a bit to take a photo.

Ayia Napa's newest natural attraction was created in 2015 when the Ayia Napa Municipality opened the amazing Cactus Park. The Ayia Napa Municipality planted a variety of cacti in a desolate area with the aim of creating the largest cactus park in the entire Mediterranean. Currently, the Cactus Park is home to 6000-8000 plants. The park is located on the outskirts of the coastal town in Grecian Bay, right next to the Sculpture Park. In addition to the beautiful and rare cactus variety, visitors enjoy the magnificent view of the sparkling blue sea and the silence and tranquility of the area. Nature lovers will see a combination of small and large plants when visiting the Cactus Park. Over the years, the plants that have flourished here have become impressive sights.

Juniperus phoenicea, commonly known as Phoenician juniper or Arâr, is a species of juniper native to the Mediterranean region. This evergreen shrub or small tree is well adapted to arid and semi-arid climates and often grows on rocky or sandy soils. It typically reaches a height of 2–8 meters, but can sometimes grow up to 12 meters. The leaves of Juniperus phoenicea are scale-like and arranged in opposite pairs. The plant produces small, berry-like cones that are reddish-brown when mature and take about 18 months to ripen. These cones are an important food source for various bird species. Juniperus phoenicea is known for its resilience in difficult environmental conditions and is often used in landscaping and reforestation projects in drought-prone areas. In addition, the wood and resin of this plant have historically been used for medicinal and aromatic purposes. This tree is truly romantic. In any case, it serves as a perfect protection from the sun
