Things to do in March
- In dry weather, Ayia Napa’s fishing harbour offers a short waterside walk with boats to look at. It can be fitted around other plans.
- The International Sculpture Park is an outdoor option. The neighbouring park of Mediterranean plants, cacti and succulents allows a walk to combine art with an interest in plants.
- For a rainy day, Thalassa Museum has a full-size replica of an ancient trading ship and exhibits about marine life. It offers a way to explore the sea’s history when beach weather is unsuitable.
