The area around Agia Napa.

Erroneously attributed to Larnaca District by Prüfer (2010).

Ayia Napa (Greek: Αγία Νάπα), officially romanised as Agia Napa, is a tourist resort at the far eastern end of the southern coast of Cyprus.

The name Ayia Napa is derived from a Venetian-era monastery of the same name, located in the center of the town, next to the square that today is the clubbing centre. The word "Ayia" means "holy" in Greek. "Napa" is archaic and means "wooded valley" or "dell". In ancient times the area surrounding the town was covered with thick forest.
