The Makronissos Tombs are a small archaeological site near one of Ayia Napa's busiest beach areas. The rock-cut chambers date from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, giving a sudden reminder that this coast was part of a much older Mediterranean world before it became a resort strip.
The site is open and easy to combine with Makronissos Beach, which is exactly why it works for travellers. You will not need long, but the tombs add texture to a beach day and make Ayia Napa feel less one-dimensional.
