Things to Do in Ayia Napa in October
The Black Pearl Pirate Boat
Arguably one of the most fun boat excursions you can do in the resort is The Black Pearl Pirate Boat. This huge pirate boat takes you along the scenic coast to great swimming and diving spots. The trip includes all major sights along the coast, a children's treasure hunt, dresses and costumes for all participants, a cannon show, amusement hosted by Captain Jack Sparrow himself, a roast chicken, potato and salad lunch, and a bar with an extensive menu. The trip starts around 11am and ends at 3pm. From 4pm throughout the night, the ship serves as a licensed bar in the harbour.
Macronissos Tombs
A totally different attraction is the Macronissos Tombs. Although they may sound a bit macabre, they're actually a historically very significant highlight. Located in the village of Macronissos, west of the resort, this ancient burial site dates back to the Hellenistic Roman period. Although unfortunately all tombs have been plundered, they still are of archaeological importance.
