Things to do in Akamas Peninsula National Park
Akamas Peninsula National Park is not for your average Cyprus visitor. Those who go to Akamas Peninsula National Park in northwest Cyprus tend to seek more than just the ordinary beach holiday — they want to explore a mountainous nature reserve characterised by wildlife diversity, secluded beaches, clear waters, and free from human development.
A hotspot for biodiversity in Cyprus due to its relatively inaccessible location, Akamas Peninsula National Park is home to a wide range of flora and fauna. If you’re lucky, you might be able to spot the Paphos Blue (Glaucopsyche paphos), a small butterfly that is endemic to Cyprus. Other points of interest in the area include the Baths of Aphrodite, where according to myth the goddess Aphrodite used to bathe, the Blue Lagoon cove, and Lara Beach, a secluded beach that is known for its resident sea turtles.
Akamas Peninsula is a promontory facing the Mediterranean Sea found approximately 40 km north of Paphos, Cyprus. To get around, it’s best to get a sturdy 4x4 vehicle or quad bike for off-road driving as opposed to using a car since there are not many roads here. You can also get around by foot on one of the many hiking trails or cruise along the shores of the Akamas Peninsula by boat.

Reviews Akamas Peninsula National Park
“The whole day was fantastic special shout out to George our driver fantastic And also Gerry very informative”
“Awesome, amazing adventure. The guides and small family run business were friendly and helpful. The driving is not for the light hearted. There is no driving test before you set off so go with conviction! This was my first time and I took my 10 and 13 year old in a 3 seater. It was bumpy and dusty, so go prepared and you'll have an amazing time. My only thought is the add ons, lunch and the adonis baths were extra, I thought it would be better value if everything was included on the tour.”
“`As a family we felt very safe and well looked after. The vehicles, the staff and the food was very good. The stops we made were not too far apart, the guides checked on us making sure we were ok and safe on the roads. The ones who did not do as they were told, were spoken to straight away, so we knew they were keeping a close eye on everyone to keep everyone safe.”
“The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The lunch stop restaurant was amazing. There was plenty of food and it was really fresh and tasty. The day was a good mix of activity and relaxation.”
