Why go
Use Ayia Napa Monastery as a cultural start before Nissi Beach, Cape Greco, Konnos Bay, and Fig Tree Bay. Cape Greco and the East Coast keeps the route focused while later stops remain flexible. Follow the Cape sequence as a regional progression. Keep Cape flexible in heat. Access changes can reorder Cape. Water and shade matter on Cape. Parking and transfers shape Cape. If one anchor runs long, shorten Cape. Protect museum time on Cape. Protect archaeological stops on Cape.
