Sea Museum in Ayia Napa

It is worth visiting the Sea Museum in Ayia Napa. This place is one of the most important educational institutions in Cyprus.

The exposition of the Museum of the Sea is small. It is not difficult to get around even with small children. A small amount of exposure does not affect her interest. There is a good collection of marine life that is worth seeing.

The main task of the museum is to familiarize visitors with the inhabitants of the seabed. The museum was created to make people love and appreciate the magnificent diversity of the marine world.

The Sea Museum in Ayia Napa was opened in 1984 when archaeologists found an ancient shipwreck near Cyprus. The remaining parts of the ship are on display.

Here you can see various sea shells and find out what they are called. There is a rich exhibition of ancient fossils, which will be interesting to see even people unfamiliar with paleontology.

The museum shows a documentary about the discovery of an ancient ship. There is also an exact copy of the wreck.

The museum is attractive on the outside. The building is lined with various wooden, limestone and iron rocks, marble and onyx.

Inside the building, visitors are presented with stuffed sea fish, skeletons of dwarf hippos, elephants, as well as skulls, bones, corals and sea urchins. There are halls in which figurines, household items of seafarers and ceramics are exhibited. In short, it's not boring.

Getting there is easy if you are in Cyprus in Ayia Napa and drive along the main road from the Marina Hotel. You can get to the Sea Museum and by bus (bus #201 to the Kryou Nerou or Thalassa Municipal Museum stops).
