At "Loutra tis Afroditis", history and mythology related to the goddess Aphrodite aπd Adοnis unfold before one's eyes. The route follows the contours of the coast and, to the accompaniment of the sound of waves breaking οn the rocks, goes past Fontana Amorosa, Agios Kononas, the protected beach at Lara - Toxeftra where the green (Chelonia mydas) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles nest, and reaches the entrance to the Avakas gorge just before the village of Pegeia (alt. 100 m). The route through the Akamas peninsula is impressive with attractions such as sea caves, gorges and maquis forest areas. This is the longest distance from a village and other inhabited areas. It is therefore recommended that ramblers go prepared for a continuous trek up to the village of Pegeia. Camping inside the Akamas National Park is prohibited.
