CYPRUS: BATHS OF APHRODITE

Continuing westward from Paphos by road, you will arrive at the beautiful beaches near the town of Maa.

This is Coral Beach, taking a little swimming break here is a must!

Even further west, and moving northward, you enter the region of the Akamas Peninsula, a preserved reserve that boasts magnificent landscapes and rather wild coves.

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

Legend has it that the goddess of love herself bathed in this natural grotto, which promises magical waters surrounded by lush greenery.

After a short hike, you will experience the mythic charm and serene beauty of this historic site.
