Beach at coral bay Cyprus

This is Coral Bay Beach: taking a quick swim here is a must!

Akamas Peninsula

Heading north, you enter the Akamas Peninsula region.

This is a protected national park that offers stunning landscapes and rather wild coves.

Baths of Aphrodite

The Akamas Peninsula is also home to a small gem: the Baths of Aphrodite.

Legend has it that the goddess of love herself bathed in this natural grotto, known for its magical waters and surrounded by lush greenery.

After a short hike, you will discover the mythical charm and serene beauty of this place.
