Detailed itinerary
1
This captivating excursion commences at the Limassol. Our friendly driver awaits you with a warm welcome at your hotel or accommodation. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle embarking on.
2
Perhaps Cyprus’ most impressive natural wonder, this deep canyon is famous for the sheer walls of limestone that come narrowly together to form a natural tunnel. A not-too-strenuous walk is required to see the best parts of the Gorge. Some sections are sun-exposed, but mostly we walk in shadow over sometimes slippery boulders. Decent footwear is advised; not exactly recommended for those wearing high-heel stilettos…!
3
We visit one of the most important (and pristine) beaches in the entire Mediterranean, Lara Beach, where the Cyprus Turtle Conservation Project has been saving endangered sea turtles from extinction for three decades. Learn the secrets of these sensitive and delightful sea creatures as we take you through the conservation exhibits at the beach.
4
Fantastic views of the beautiful surrounding areas of Akamas Peninsula and a great opportunity to take some amazing photos.
5
One of the true landmarks of the Akamas, this fresh water spring is connected to the myth of Cyprus’ home-grown Goddess of Love.
6
After the guided tour, relish in 2 hours of free time. Your guide will drop you off at a convenient location, allowing you to walk.
7
After a day filled with delights, our comfortable private vehicle will whisk you back to your hotel, brimming with cherished memories. Trust our decade-long expertise in organizing shore excursions and exploring the shores with utmost comfort and peace of mind. Booking a tour can be daunting, but not with us!
