• Akamas National Park

    The main road north from Paphos takes you to Chrysochou Bay, which runs from the tip of the Akamas Peninsular in the west to Pomos Point in the east. The main villages of significance are Polis and the fishing harbour of Latchi. The more adventurous can find many fine undiscovered beaches, further to the east but most tourists head for the beach resorts on the coast near Latchi and Polis. Romantics, however, usually head further west till the road reaches a parking lot by the Baths of Aphrodite, in the heart of the Akamas National Park.

    The Akamas National Park lies on the west coast of Cyprus, a truly pictorial part of the island. It has an area coverage of 230 square kilometres containing valleys, gorges and wide sandy bays. 

  • Scuba Diving

    Scuba diving off the Mediterranean island of Cyprus may not be on your top 10 list of best locations in the world, but do not underestimate its exotic beauty. Visibility is not a problem- reaching around 100 feet or better - nor is the water temperature.

    The waters of the Mediterranean around Cyprus reach about 80 degrees F or higher in July. There are countless wreck dives, both modern and ancient, and ancient settlements and artifacts off its coast that are worth exploring.

    You can enjoy diving off Cyprus year round; in the winter months of November through March you may be more comfortable in a dry suit, with water temperatures dropping to around 65 degrees F.
