The myth behind the baths

According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, bathed here and met her lover Adonis. The shaded spring and its setting remain the focus of the visit; the legends are part of the place’s enduring appeal.

What to expect

• A small, shaded natural pool fed by a spring.
• Woodland paths and access to the nearby Aphrodite nature trail.
• Views across the Akamas landscape and the coast from the higher trail sections.
• A peaceful nature stop that is easy to combine with Latchi and Polis.

Before you go

• Swimming in the grotto is not allowed.
• Wear shoes with a reliable grip if you plan to continue onto the trails.
• Carry water and sun protection, especially if you are walking beyond the shaded grotto.
• Allow extra time if you want to explore the surrounding nature trails rather than visit only the pool.

Getting there

The baths are on the Akamas Peninsula near Latchi. Travel via Polis and Latchi, then follow local signs towards the Baths of Aphrodite. From the parking area, the grotto is reached on foot.
