The Ayia Napa Sea Monster

Scotland has the Loch Ness Monster, America has Bigfoot and England has the Friendly Bus Driver, but did you know that Cyprus also has a mythical creature of it’s own? The Ayia Napa Sea Monster is said to inhabit the crystal blue waters around Cape Greko and sightings of this subaquatic beastie date all the way back to the days of the Roman Empire. Fancy joining in the hunt whilst you’re on your next Ayia Napa holiday? Here’s everything you could possibly need to know about this bizarre Cypriot sea monster…

The creature is known to local fishermen as ‘To Filiko Teras’ or quite simply ‘The Friendly Monster’ as there are no claims that it has ever caused harm to anybody, beyond raiding the occasional fishing net. If the descriptions from those claiming to have seen it are to be believed, it must be a pretty terrifying sight. It is said to have over a dozen serpent like limbs, with six ferocious canine like heads protruding from it’s mid-riff and bizarrely the torso of a woman.
