Baths of Aphrodite

This shaded natural grotto on the Akamas Peninsula is associated with the goddess Aphrodite. Its woodland setting and nearby nature trails make it easy to combine mythology with a longer walk.

Paphos Archaeological Park

Near Paphos harbour, the archaeological park contains Roman mosaics, villas, an odeon and remains from the ancient city. It is one of the region’s essential stops for understanding the history behind modern Paphos.

Adonis Baths

Adonis Baths is a countryside attraction built around waterfalls, natural pools and the local stories of Adonis and Aphrodite. The approach can be rugged, so check access conditions before setting out.

Blue Lagoon, Akamas

The Blue Lagoon is known for clear water and an undeveloped coastal setting. Many visitors approach by boat from Latchi; the overland approach is rough and should be planned for the vehicle and conditions.

Planning your visits

  • Group the Akamas sights together and allow realistic travel time from central Paphos.
  • Use comfortable footwear and sun protection at outdoor sites.
  • Check current opening, admission and access information with each attraction or operator.
  • Avoid packing the archaeological park and a long Akamas outing into too little time.
