#2 MOTW - Ayia Napa, Cyprus

The name Ayia Napa is derived from a Venetian-era monastery of the same name, located in the centre of the town. 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. Ayia Napa lies near Cape Greco in the eastern part of Cyprus, south of Famagusta, and forms part of a larger area known as Kokkinochoria ("Red Villages", a name derived from the vivid red colour of the soil).
