Almighty in the city

The Ayia Napa Hotel is of course located in Ayia Napa, a tourist paradise in ancient Cyprus.

There are charming and charming Gold Coast, crystal clear waters, dreamlike nights and enthusiastic and simple people.

Even though it is almost late at night, you can still feel the unique charm of this city through the car window.

The hotel sent to pick up the airport was a seven-seater Mercedes-Benz Spint. The driver who was driving was a guy in his early twenties. He was very talkative, and he was about the same age as Bai Yifan, so a few words After that, everyone talked together.

"Before Ayia Napa became a metropolis and the tourist center of Cyprus, it was a purely agricultural village. However, Ayia Napa is what tourists and people from other cities call it, and we locals are more used to it. It’s called St. Napa.” This young driver, named “mavrides”, transliterated as “Mavrides”, enthusiastically introduced the city where he was born and raised him to everyone, “Even if he arrives Today, here has been so prosperous, but we still retain the customs and habits of the past. For example, I always spend two to three days a month to help farming in the suburbs or go fishing by the sea. These We will pass on ancient jobs from generation to generation, and will not let them be annihilated in the wave of modernization."

When he said these last words, this handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes had an extremely solemn and pious expression on his face, as if he was swearing to a god.

With this short and solemn and pious sentence, everyone in the car had a brand new feeling about the city of Ayia Napa.

"Perhaps, you will ask the origin of the name Ayia Napa." The driver said with a smile, "but I may disappoint you-this name is not named by a great person. Ayia Napa, that is, you The Ayia Napa is actually an old name in the ancient Malatonian Mandarin, which translates to'woodland'."

"In ancient times, this place was covered by dense forests and uninhabited. Only hunters from nearby villages would come here for hunting or logging."

"One day, a hunter happened to pass by here, and a hare chased by his hunting dog suddenly disappeared. The hunter was surprised. The hunting dog chased its refuge-a cave, looking for the smell of the hare."

"The hunter quickly found the entrance to the cave amid the barking of dogs. However, after entering the cave, the hunter was surprised to see the portrait of the Virgin Mary, which was once popular on the island. "

"On the rock next to the portrait, there are some stone inscriptions that record the persecution suffered by Christians from the eighth to the ninth century. In order to preserve the portrait of the Virgin Mary, some Christians hid it In this carefully chosen cave."

"Some residents living in villages near this forest, in order to pay homage to the Virgin Mary, arranged their own worship in this cave, which lasted until the 15th century."

"This cave has become a very important holy place in the area, and it has a high reputation here. The custom of going to the cave for worship has also been preserved."

"Later, a young lady from Venice who lives in Famaguste, because her father did not approve of her marrying her sweetheart, so she left home and came here."

"After seeing the cave where the Virgin Mary was enshrined, she used the belongings she brought with her to build a church in this cave and settled down here. This church is where you are now. Look at the predecessor of the Ayia Napa Monastery that can be seen from the front left.

The driver's eloquence is very good, and the history of the city is told to everyone in the car in the form of a story.

"In the later period of the Venetian rule, this monastery became very famous, accumulated a lot of wealth, and attracted a group of monks to live here. Later, the Venetians were defeated by the more powerful shadow countrymen, and Cyprus also entered. The era of being colonized by the shadow country."

"During the reign of the Shadow Kingdom, the monks were forced to enter an informal monastic life, and this place gradually began to be abandoned. It was not until the beginning of the eighteenth century that the monks were no longer strictly controlled, and the place was renewed Revitalized."

"According to the records in our history textbook, the first group of residents here were 20 people from Salonica. Starting from their descendants, the village of Ayia Napa really existed."

...

From the airport to the booked hotel in Ayia Napa, it took over an hour’s drive on the road, but Bai Yifan and the others had already learned about the history and customs of the city. This is probably a five-star hotel for travelers. An extra service.

Ye Jiaoyang, Xiao Ce, and Fan Yi started to "kill familiar", and this "stab" was really not soft at all.

With a total of six people, they actually booked five luxurious presidential suites.

This is because there are only five luxurious presidential suites in the Ayia Napa Hotel. Otherwise, they would never mind getting a luxurious presidential suite alone.

In this regard, apart from scolding these three guys as "prodigal son", Bai Yifan had only a wry smile and swiped his card to pay the bill.

Two girls Tang Guo and Lin Qiaoyu lived in a luxurious presidential suite, and the remaining four, Bai Yifan, Ye Jiaoyang, Xiao Ce, and Fan Yi, naturally belonged to the same suite.

Six people rounded up the floor where the luxurious presidential suite of Ayia Napa Hotel was located. Even the two beauties who paid for Bai Yifan's credit card at the front desk looked at them with weird eyes, which seemed strange. There are so many prodigals who don’t use money as money.

After a quarter of an hour, each of them had put their luggages, and the six people who had simply packed up, met at the elevator entrance and took the elevator down together, ready to taste the "night snack" here.

As soon as the elevator stopped to the first floor and the elevator door opened, several noises that had rang through the lobby, but floated in directly——

"What? There is no deluxe presidential suite anymore? Who do you care about! It's the off-season of tourism. Those turtles who ran out to travel poorly during the off-season, how can they have the money to live in the presidential suite, let alone a luxury president who spends ten thousand dollars a night? Set it up!"

"Yes! Six people, five luxurious presidential suites, none of our brothers are so prodigal! Since you said that people have already moved in, well, call and call me down! You guys want to Look, what exactly are these six prodigal sons!"
