Akamas Peninsula in Cyprus


Akamas

Akamas is located in the northwestern part of blooming Cyprus. However, despite the beauty of the scenery, this section of the island is still considered undeveloped. The local authorities have long ago declared it a National Park. Here you will find everything that is pleasing to the eye: fragrant flowers, whole outlandish herbs that grow all over the island. Here you can find fossilized shells, as well as immortalized shards of pottery, which remind that in distant times there was another civilization here.

Aphrodite’s Bath is especially popular among tourists. According to legend, it was here that the beautiful Aphrodite took rejuvenating baths. At this unique place nature has been preserved as it was many years ago. Here you can observe more than 22 species of reptiles, 170 species of bizarre birds, among which breeders emphasize the rare griffin Vultura.

Sometimes mouflon and mottled butterflies of impressive beauty can be found here. Green sea turtles are not rare guests here, and lay their eggs in the coves. Individual excursions in Cyprus to this unique place will give positive emotions and energy.
The nature here is diverse, so this part of the planet is considered to be ecologically important. Deserted beaches with the purest sand and empty shores with vegetation — all this attracts tourists from all over the world.

Be sure to visit Polis, which is located in the west of Cyprus. If to believe the beliefs, gold was mined here. This paradise place will attract lovers of noisy vacations, as well as those who can’t imagine themselves without sunbathing and walks along the shore at sunset.

Lara Beach is a unique place where they breed two kinds of turtles — green and big-headed. They typically live for 100 years. As soon as they lay their eggs, they return to the sea and after 1.5 months the baby turtles are born.
