Akamas
Wild peninsula, Blue Lagoon & turtle beaches
The Akamas Peninsula is Cyprus at its wildest — an uninhabited headland of gorges, sea caves and empty coves protected as a nature reserve. Its Blue Lagoon glows electric turquoise, loggerhead and green turtles nest at Lara Beach, and rough tracks and trails reward hikers, jeep-safari riders and boat-trippers alike.
