Ayia Napa Cruise: Swim Stops, Cape Greco & Lunch Decks

Summary

Ayia Napa’s coastline by boat turquoise water swim stops

You’ll cruise along Ayia Napa’s coastline with stops to swim in Fig Tree Bay’s turquoise water and snap photos at Cape Greco Viewpoint. A local guide shares stories as you pass Agioi Anargyroi Church perched above its sea cave. Enjoy lunch on spacious decks with salty air and good company—it’s relaxed, real, and leaves you wanting more time at sea.

What’s the experience like?

I still remember how quiet it felt when we first pulled away from the Ayia Napa harbor—just the low hum of the engine and a few gulls overhead. The deck was bigger than I’d pictured (honestly, I was worried about being squished between strangers), but there was space to wander and even stretch out my legs. Our guide—Andreas, with a sun-faded cap—pointed out Cape Greco as we drifted closer. He joked about his “captain’s tan” and handed out tips for photos. The rocks looked almost white against that blue water, which is a color I don’t think exists anywhere else.

We stopped at Fig Tree Bay for swimming. I’m not usually the first one in, but the water was so clear you could see every ripple on the sand below. There was this faint smell of salt and sunscreen mixed together—sort of comforting? Someone nearby tried to teach their kid to snorkel (lots of splashing, not much progress). Lunch came out right after; nothing fancy but honestly just what you want after swimming—grilled chicken, salad, bread. Eating outside with sea air makes everything taste better. I dropped my fork once and nobody cared.

There was a moment near Agioi Anargyroi Church where everyone got quiet—just watching that little white chapel perched above the cave. Andreas told us it’s only reachable by boat or a long hike. The cliffs were jagged and kind of dramatic up close; I kept thinking how old everything must be here. On the way back, people sprawled across different decks—some napping in patches of shade, others chatting quietly about where they were from or what they’d seen so far in Cyprus. It felt like time slowed down for a bit before we docked again.
