Our Akamas and Blue Lagoon Safari Land Tours Itinerary |
||
| Safari 1 - | Optional bbq lunch to include a glass of wine or soft drink. | |
| Duration of this safari tour is approximately 8 - 9 hours. This tour will have a maximum of 10 travelers. | ||
|
Please note that times listed are approximate times. |
||
| 08.30 - | Pick up from your designated hotel and we make our way to our first stop "Sea Caves". | |
| 09.00 - | Here at Sea Caves we will see the shipwreck of Edro II, a 83 meter long, 2,517 ton freighter which ran | |
| aground in very stormy weather in the Sea Caves area of Paphos between Coral Bay and St Georges | ||
| Island on 8 December 2011. At around 09.20 we will take in the spectacular views of this wild coastline. | ||
| 09.40 - | We travel onward to see the little known but spectacular water falls near to Kathikas village called | |
| the secret waterfall of Kritou Terra. | ||
| 10.30 - | We visit the baths of Aphrodite's and hot or cold soft drinks are available here. Situated about 18 miles | |
| from the coastal town of Paphos, the natural cavern here features a caved shallow pool encompassed | ||
| by ferns and a large fig tree which caters for the shade. A natural spring supplies the water to the pool. | ||
| According to myth, Aphrodite would bathe in this pool and is where she first met her great love- Adonis. | ||
| The waters here are said to hold special rejuvenating powers. | ||
| 11.20 - | The main highlight of the tour is the visit to the Blue Lagoon. You should not forget to bring towels for | |
| this exhilarating water experience. The Blue lagoon is the most popular place of Akamas peninsular | ||
| and thousands of people have visited it for its crystal blue shallow very warm waters. Blue Lagoon lies | ||
| in this small bay and you can see all the way to the underlying sea bed surrounded by fish. The water in | ||
| this area of the Akamas Peninsula is so inviting and refreshing you will want to swim all day long in this | ||
| beautiful environment or go snorkeling and look around you underwater for meters. | ||
| 12.30 - | Having spent a great time bathing in blue waters, we are off to Kioni where you should get your cameras | |
| and mobiles ready for a photo session. Then we are off to visit the home of the Green and Loggerhead | ||
| Turtles breeding grounds of Lara Bay where provisions are constantly being made for safe sites for the | ||
| egg laying of these sea creatures. | ||
| 13.00 - | Lara Bay and Beach. The sands are soft and golden, while the sea is crystal clear and clean. On the | |
| north-west coast of the island of Cyprus, is the extensive and often near-deserted sandy beach and one | ||
| of the few remaining havens for loggerhead and green turtles to nest – so loungers and umbrellas and | ||
| general sunbathers are not allowed. Monk seals also dwell in the sea caves off and around this | ||
| peninsula. Experience the Cyprus coast as it was before the vigorous development that has enveloped | ||
| much of the Cypriot waterfront. In this corner of the island, that includes the Akamas peninsula, with | ||
| fantastic walks, the most beautiful and varied coastline and, in spring especially, a breathtaking | ||
| plethora of flora. A 4×4 vehicle is necessary to reach this expansive and virtually deserted beach and | ||
| peninsular. | ||
| 13.30 - | Optional lunch can be arranged for us all at the Lara Bay Tavern which will consist of bbq chicken and | |
| salad with a glass of wine or a choice of juices. Should you prefer fish, please advise us at least 24 | ||
| hours before your tour begins. | ||
| 15.00 - | Now we have wined and dined, we are off for a walk and hope we loose a few calories. The Gorge of | |
| Avacas found on the western tip of the Akamas Peninsula, this impressive gorge lies approximately | ||
| 18 kilometres from the coastal town of Paphos. The trail leading through the gorge is roughly 2½k | ||
| long with sheer rocks on both sides reaching up to 260 feet in height. The narrowest point being 10 feet | ||
| wide. Deep inside the gorge you will encounter rare plants and flowers, reptiles, immense cliffs and | ||
| even wild mountain goats. | ||
| 16.00 - | Time to head homeward bound and we take the coastal road back into Paphos. | |
| 16.30 - | Back to your hotel drop off. We hope you have had a very pleasant and interesting days land safari tour with | |
|
us and we look forward to having you select one of our other tour safaris.
