Makronissos Beach & Tombs
Μακρόνησος
A string of small sandy coves on the western edge of Ayia Napa, next to a rocky slope with rock-cut tombs from the Hellenistic to Roman periods.
Makronissos is made up of several connected golden sand coves with shallow, calm water. It is quieter than Nissi Beach. On the western peninsula are 19 rock-cut tombs and quarries dating from the 3rd century BC through the Roman period, which can be visited for free. It is a good place for a morning swim followed by a look at the ancient tombs, and it is very close to the WaterWorld water park.
