AKAMAS PENINSULA
The
Akamas Peninsula is at the northwest extremity of Cyprus with an area
of 144 square miles. It is a National Park and area of outstanding natural
beauty where there are deep gorges, a wild landscape and wide sandy bays.
Ptolemy described it as a thickly wooded headland, divided into two by a mountain range rising towards the north. The peninsula is named after a son of Theseus, hero of the Trojan War.
Due to the mountainous nature of the peninsula there are no roads running
through its heartland however there are main roads running from Peyia
to Agios Georgios on the North West side
and Latchi and Polis on its North East side.
Look out for the spectacular and stunning views across the valleys on
the road to and from Latchi and Polis
from Peyia.
Visitor attractions in the Akamas peninsula include, Agios
Georgios, the Lara Bay loggerhead turtle sanctuary where the turtles
come to lay their eggs at night, Latchi Harbour
near Polis where you can eat at its scrumptious seafood restaurants dotted
around the marina and the Baths of Aphrodite where the goddess is said
to have bathed.
Our apartments are only a 30 minute drive from the Akamas coastline and
fishing villages near to Agios Georgios.
and around 50 minutes drive to Latchi and Polis.
Mountain bike hire is available in nearby Coral Bay with easy access to the beautiful and very peaceful Akamas Peninsula which also provides excellent walking opportunities.
