Underneath an old fig tree, shaded from the warm Cyprus sun, is a small natural grotto. Water flows down a wall of rock and forms a pool amongst the moss. It is here that legend says Aphrodite would come to bathe. According to Greek mythology, she met her lover Adonis at the pool when he stopped for a drink while hunting.

Entering the Akamas Natural Reserve Park from the car park to the grotto, you’ll pass through a botanical garden that has most of the perennial indigenous plants of the region.

As well as seeing the diverse plants and animals of the Akamas Park, there are significant geological formations in the area.

The walking trail along the coastline has magnificent views out over the sea.

There are also swimming spots at some of the nearby beaches, with the opportunity to relax.
