Ayia Thekla is the perfect destination for those seeking the privacy and seclusion of a residential area but who still want to be within easy reach of major towns and resorts. Due to its attractive environment and endless sunshine, the prosperous area of Ayia Thekla has been steadily growing in popularity for some time now and is considered by many to be a privileged place to live. Conveniently positioned just a few kilometers from the center of Ayia Napa, this seaside haven is within 15 minutes drive of both Paralimni and Protaras and just 20 minutes away from the city of Larnaca and its international airport.

The most prominent landmark in Ayia Thekla is a small, white church dating back to the middle ages. It sits in a peaceful setting, facing the beautiful turquoise Mediterranean sea, surrounded by native flowers and plants. A small sandy beach also lies here with a tiny island just offshore that acts as a natural breakwater, making the waters here calm and warm. Further along the coastline of Ayia Thekla can be found the pretty fishing harbour of Potamos Liopetriou, with its array of colourful boats and sandy coves. A visit to one of the 2, famous sea-front fish restaurants is a must for all visitors.

Recent news of a 600 berth Marina which is to be built in the area has attracted much attention from those looking to invest on the coast. The Marina along with the various facilities to be built alongside it will greatly benefit all year round tourism in this area.
