The modern art that has been erected in the harbour area in recent years has certainly raised the profile of the harbour area especially on a night time when the diners and tourists are out and about.

One of the biggest and most frequently photographed trees in Cyprus. It is found at the Cavo Greco National Park in Ayia Napa.

On the edge of Cape Greco Park just off the Gravel Track to The Sea Caves sits yet another of Mother Nature’s fine Creations - The Juniper Tree. Although these Trees were plentiful in bygone days they were cut down to provide Fuel for the nearby Flour Mills. However not to be defeated Mother Nature still has this one to allow Locals & Tourists sit awhile and reflect on how the area must have once been. There is a Seating Area and popular for Wedding Photographs. Easy to find and well worth Ten Minutes of your time to appreciate this Wonder.
