Sculpture Park

One of the most fascinating things to see when you vacation in Protaras, and a short drive from Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa by the Sea, the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa is a premiere in the Famagusta Free Province. It hosts works by artists participating in the Ayia Napa Municipality International Sculpture Symposium meetups between 2014-2017 – both Cypriot and international talent.

Works by Mischa Pertsev, Lorena Olivares, Roland Hoft, Alexey Kanis, Pedro Jordan, Cedric Hennion, Antonella Tiozzo, Vincent Beaufils-Hourdigas, and many others grace an area of about 20000 m2 at the Cavo Greco-Kryo Nero junction by the sea. It’s free to visit and quite a unique experience, considering its natural setting and the way art and flora harmonise under the sparkling blue skies. The park stays open year-round, 24/7.

Next to it, you’ll find the Ayia Napa Cactus Park – another must-see attraction in the region. Do consider visiting them both in the same day. Wear comfortable shoes and come prepared with water, sunscreen, and food, as there are no facilities at the sites.
