Baths Of Aphrodite” – Akamas

Paphos, Cyprus

The northwestern peninsula of Cyprus, known as Akamas, is a wild, uninhabited region with spectacular landscapes and beaches, due to be designated a National Park. The area is named after Akamantas, an Athenian warrior and son of Theseus, who arrived here after the Trojan War.

It is a unique area of biodiversity, habitats, and ecosystems. Almost all the geological formations of Cyprus are met here, from narrow deep valleys, caves, and islets to gorges, and there are over 500 different types of plants. The nature trails that cross the peninsula pass through unspoiled areas of extreme physical beauty. The area is ideal for hiking, cycling, diving, and swimming in crystal clear waters.
