If standing on the beaches
looking at the peaches is your
thing, this is the place for you.
Gets very busy so get here early
to secure the best spot. Lots of
watersports and bungee jumping
available. White sands, clear waters.
Great for: golden sand
Lara Beach
Akamas Peninsula

The Akamas National park is well worth
the journey if you are into discovering
secluded beaches and bays. Lara
Beach is a turtle sanctuary (check out
the interesting information shack
on the beach itself ) and the coast is
unspoilt and great for picnics, with the
Akamas nature reserve as a picturesque
backdrop. A natural and undisturbed
world that is best accessed with a 4 x 4.
Great for: turtle spotting
and rugged beauty
Kourion
The perfect beach for children and
families due to the crystal clear
shallow waters and the golden
sand that stretches for miles. Lots
of inflatables and activities for kids.
Popular for windsurfing. Gentlemen
welcome too!

New breakwaters have improved this
beach's appeal 10-fold, it's fantastic
for swimming and enjoying a day
on a sunbed. Little snack shacks and
restaurants nearby.

Kourion is a sandy blue flag beach
with a gentle shoreline situated below
the Roman Amphitheatre. Great for
swimming and relaxing, the waves here
make for lots of fun for adults and kids
alike. Try Chris Blue Beach for brunch or
lunch - one of our faves. More popular
with locals than tourists.
Great for: waves and
delicious lunch
Top 5 Beaching Tips:
• Do NOT forget your sun cream
• Purchase a bat and ball: play in the
water’s edge to keep cooler
• Be careful where you tread in turtle
conservation areas.
• Take a cool box: keep your drinks &
snacks cool in the heat
• Take a basin: makes washing your
feet nice & easy at the end of the day.
