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.
