Here’s a chance to journey deep inside Cyprus’ last undeveloped coastal frontier, the wild Akamas Peninsula. This trip is perfect for nature-lovers of all persuasions, especially for bird-watchers, botanical enthusiasts or those just seeking a thrill. Our itinerary takes in all the “must-see” sites and landscapes of this spectacular environmental wonderland.
This full day adventure includes several sections of “off-road” driving. Dust and bumps are part of the process, but our drivers are specially trained to go slow and steady and allow many rest stops throughout the day.

Avakas Gorge
Perhaps Cyprus’ most impressive natural wonder, this deep canyon is famous for the sheer walls of limestone that come narrowly together to form a natural tunnel. A not-too-strenuous walk is required to see the best parts of the Gorge. Some sections are sun-exposed, but mostly we walk in shadow over sometimes slippery boulders. Decent footwear is advised; not exactly recommended for those wearing high-heel stilettos…!
Lara Beach
We visit one of the most important (and pristine) beaches in the entire Mediterranean, Lara Beach, where the Cyprus Turtle Conservation Project has been saving endangered sea turtles from extinction for three decades. Learn the secrets of these sensitive and delightful sea creatures as we take you through the conservation exhibits at the beach. (Note: Turtle nesting season is June-August; the nests hatch until early October.)

Our guide, Louis, was so knowledgeable about Cyprus. He is highly experienced and very competent maneuvering the mountain roads. He took us to learn about and try traditional Cyprus coffee and educated us on the turtle nests at the Akamas Peninsula. We had such a great day with Louis and he even recommended an excellent restaurant to try in Limassol and he was spot on. Friendly, great sense of humour and experienced, if you get Louis as your guide, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great time with our driver, Angelo. His driving skill is superb. Good music while in the jeep. James, the lead guide has a great sense of humor. So much fun and great sight seeing. Included lunch was excellent.

Excellent for who enjoys ecological and historical tours. Abandoned ship, old churches, gorges, beaches, tortoises preservation project and Aphrodite's Bath. The guides are attentive and nice. The agency is professional. Take some food, water, sunblock and a cushion if you're sensitive to bumps when safaring on rough terrains.
