03 Akamas Peninsula

Located in Paphos, the Akamas peninsula is filled with Mediterranean vegetation, cliffs, and sandy shores such as Lara Bay, a protected turtle hatchery. Check out Regina’s Tower on the coast of Pervolia, a structure that goes back to the 15th and 16th centuries when Cyprus was ruled by the Venetians. Then, there are the Baths of Aphrodite, a somewhat secluded natural pool with a lightly cascading waterfall, which, legend has it, was a favorite bathing spot of the goddess.
