Akamas Peninsula

One of the most beautiful places in Cyprus, which is worth visiting for more than one day, is the Akamas Peninsula.

One of the most beautiful places in Cyprus, which is worth visiting for more than one day, is the Akamas Peninsula. Even if you just look at the large scale map of the surface of Cyprus, you will see that this particular part of the island is highlighted in green, which contrasts with the yellow background of the rest of the island. It really is. The area around the Akamas Upland is unique. There is even a legend according to which nature was preserved here during the times of medieval arson and fires that arose during the clash of different civilizations.

The peninsula is home to a large number of birds, many of which are extremely rare. For example, the griffin Vulture. Also more than 20 species of reptiles, a great variety of butterflies. Marine life around the peninsula is also rich and varied. For many years, scientists have been breeding and preserving rare species of sea turtles here.

For tourists visiting the peninsula for the first time, everything here will be interesting. From the main attraction of the Baths of Aphrodite to the Akamas Caves, which are located in the three-kilometer gorge of the peninsula. Stalactites and stalagmites, hordes of bats, narrow passages and manholes into the cave, which will take your breath away. Even a walk through these places, where your gaze rushes into the distance to the horizon, and the air is fresh and filled with the aromas of herbs and the sea, will seem to you paradise after a sultry vacation on the beaches of Cyprus. One of the popular suburban villages of Polis is located on Akamas. Its history goes back centuries, as evidenced by excavations.

Climatic conditions in Cyprus make it possible to visit it almost at any time of the year. Perhaps, December and January look less attractive. Already in March, numerous flowers begin to bloom on the Akamas, including beautiful orchids. The rare location of this part of Cyprus - in fact Akamas is a kind of border between Asia, Europe and Africa - has led to the fact that the flora of these places is more diverse than anywhere else. It is on Akamas that you will find those plants that are not characteristic of the rest of Cyprus. Only 33 species of them grow throughout the island.

Therefore, when planning to travel to Cyprus once again, do not forget to visit this wonderful piece of paradise. Its natural wealth is worth taking a few days off the beach, or it might even be worth considering organizing a separate trip to Akamas practically at any time of the year.
