Nature
Indulge in a peaceful rural life in harmony with nature in a region that is one of the best kept secrets of the Mediterranean.
Pafos is one of the most inspiring places for appreciating nature. The variety of plant and animal life and the beautiful unspoilt scenery make it a delight. If you’re a nature lover, or into photography or painting, the Akamas peninsula will enchant you. With its rugged coastline, alternating between rocky shores, promontories and sandy bays, it is an area of breathtaking beauty exuding an aura of ancient peacefulness, while inland there are picturesque little villages nestling in the hills.
Rare endemic plants, such as the Cyprus orchid, tulip and crocus, grow here and in the spring wild anemones can be seen, making it a botanist’s paradise.
The sandy beaches of the Akamas are important breeding grounds for the green and loggerhead turtles, whose numbers have greatly been increased thanks to a successful conservation project at Lara.
