    Akamas National Forest Park is great fun. We had an amazing day here. I really recommend renting a quad motorcycle or a buggy, to explore all the beauty of the park. The roads here are not suitable for cars so this is a great alternative. There are several hiking trails, you will have nice walks with a stunning view. Bring appropriate footwear, food and water as there is no place to buy anything.

    Beautiful park, come here in the evening for best scenery. But be ready that all the roads are gravel, so you may find it challenging to go on a regular car (best to have an SUV, but i managed on Nissan Note). The best approach it's through the mountain ridge through Ineia and Fasli (the best road conditions).

    Splendid hiking area. Untamed piece of nature with lovely old cypres and oak trees. The views are majestic as well. Don't miss sundowners if you have a tent (BTW it is rocky all around so you might need to know your sleeping spot ahead: just a hint there are a couple by amphitheater bay).

    Do not venture on to these roads unless you have a 4x4 or you are in for an ordeal. We had a 4 wheel drive and it just managed. We met drivers in small cars that had been crawling along for 3 or 4 hours trying to get out on to tarmac. These roads are rough but the scenery is worth it IF you have the right vehicle.

    Amazing views and lots of nature trails. Even. The shortest one is a few kilometres long however so probably not for young children. You will need a quad bike or a 4x4 if you want to drive around some of the area

    (Translated by Google) I recommend that you first choose Adonis and descend Aphrodite. You go to the top and a beautiful view appears. (In the reverse order we enter from the sea and the view is beautiful, but it won't impress you at the top any more) (Original) Polecam najpierw wybrać drogę Adonisa a schodzić Afrodyty. Wchodzi się na szczyt i wtedy ukazuje się przepiękny widok. (W odwrotnej kolejności wchodzimy od strony morza i widok mimo że piękny, to na szczycie już tak nie zachwyci)

    A beautiful and wild ride! If you visit the region, be sure to rent a quadbike or buggy so you can explore every corner of this wonderland. I would recommend arriving early so you can make the most of the day.

    Love the trip by jeeps, it was bumpy ride but worth it. If you’re in Cyprus make sure you visit this Park.

    What a beautiful area. Good walks along the coast. Finding the perfect little beach tucked away from everyone. Would definitely recommend a visit. Quads or a beach buggy can be hired if you don't fancy the walk.

    Sehr schöner 2,5 Stunden Bootstrip mit Pause zum schwimmen in der blauen Lagune. Es war herrlich, auch wenn man natürlich nicht alleine ist 😄. Empfehlenswerte Tour, weil es auch nicht teuer ist.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful, wild, unheard-of piece of Cyprus. Sometimes lunar, or rather Martian landscapes. The porous red scale in the light of the setting sun looks truly unearthly. If you like wild, raw nature, without crowds of tourists, this place will definitely appeal to you. (Original) Piękny, dziki, niezadeptany kawałek Cypru. Momentami księżycowe, a raczej marsiańskie krajobrazy. Porowata, czerwona skala w świetle zachodzącego słońca wyglada prawdziwie nieziemsko. Jeżeli lubisz dziką, surową przyrodę, bez tłumu turystów, to miejsce spodoba Ci się z pewnością.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Cyprus. The roads are terrible, sometimes impassable for a normal car. (Original) Jedno z najładniejszych miejsc na Cyprze. Drogi są fatalne, czasem nieprzejezdne dla normalnego samochodu.

    The Akamas Forest Park was great, we hiked the mountain trail to the viewpoint and you can see all along the coastline. It was quite steep but very manageable. We came back through the woodlands which was also very lovely.

  • 5/5 Michal D. 5 years ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Best place. Many options for walking, biking, riding quads or motorbikes. There is a many hidden beaches without peoples. And beautifull views from mountains.

    Pretty views but it was quite a climb (very steep path). At some points the signs were missing or hard to find. The views make up for everything

    (Translated by Google) Lack of roads, 25 km 2 hours drive. As a result, plant a car. Impressions above the roof (Original) Отсутствие дорог, на 25 км 2 часа езды. В итоге засадить машину. Впечатлений выше крыши

  • 5/5 Piotr F. 3 years ago on Google
    This is probably the most beautiful place I have seen during my holidays in Cyprus. Access roads are not adapted to a typical passenger car, but it is worth the sacrifice to travel on foot in the heat. The gorge itself is picturesque and mysterious.

  • 5/5 Maddie L. 4 years ago on Google
    Scenery is fantastic. Buggy riding has never been more fun!! Not many sign posts but if you want to visit Lara Bay, this is the only way! One of the most unspoilt areas and a fantastic place to spend some time.

  • 4/5 Atha R. 4 years ago on Google
    Sehr schöner Ort / genialer Ort zum Wandern wird aber eingetrübt durch die vielen zum großen Teil russischen Touristen die Quad fahren. Gott sei Dank geht es nicht über die gesamte Wanderung. Sehenswert und erholsam mit Abstecher zum Baden fast jederzeit möglich.

  • 3/5 Alain K. 3 years ago on Google
    The views and trails are very nice but they are quite poorly marked in places so it's good to have a gps/good orientation. It is very hot in the summer so make sure to bring a lot of water

  • 5/5 Francesco D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful pristine place. There you will find the blue lagoon and laras beach. In addition there are beautiful paths on the hill and the pool where Venus of Cyprus used to cool off after love with Adonis. Akamas can only be explored in a 4x4 (Original) Bellissimo posto incontinato. Ci trovi la laguna blue e laras beach.inoltre ci sono dei bei sentieri sulla.collina e la pozza dove Venere di Cipro era solita rinfrescarsi dopo l amire con Adone. Akamas si può esplorare solo con un 4x4

  • 5/5 Joao Carlos V. 3 years ago on Google
    The Akamas Peninsula is a wild and beautiful place perfect for hikers and nature lovers. It contains a staggering amount of flora and fauna and is home to 35 plant species only found in Cyprus. The trails here are all well marked and organised, meaning everyone, not just seasoned walkers, can enjoy them. The most popular is the Aphrodite Trail, which takes around four hours and begins and ends at the Baths of Aphrodite and takes in the monastery ruins of Pyrgos tis Rigainas along the way. The other trail not to miss is the Adonis Trail, which is a shorter, three-hour walk.

  • 4/5 Sven P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting and beautiful, but too hot and too dry. (Original) Interessant und schön, aber zu heiß und zu trocken.

  • 1/5 loreta t. 3 years ago on Google
    Akamas Peninsula is not possible to reach with a conventional economy car. Very bad road, so not recommended. Gravel Mountain Road. Even with a four-wheeler, it is dangerous to drive. It is terribly hot during the day. Nature like all over Cyprus. Monotonous.

  • 5/5 Thomas R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wild, undeveloped landscape. Pure nature, if only it weren't for these off-road buggy drivers. (Original) Wilde, unerschlossene Landschaft. Natur pur, wenn bloß nicht diese Offroad-Buggyfahrer wären.

    Awesome nature, tough to reach but worth any Minute!

  • 4/5 Nick V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place, but very hot with not much shade. But if you like these kind of places I guess shade is the last thing on your mind. I was told by a local guide that the earth has big tectonic plates cracks that one can actually see millions of years worth of our planet's evolution. Amazing, isn't it. There is an awesome view overlooking the Mediterranean.

  • 5/5 Edita M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wonderful place: natural nature, surrounded by swamps, from the visitor center you can watch rare birds with binoculars, and among them we saw even black flamingos. Interesting exposition, a lot of useful information, there are various activities for children (Original) Nuostabi vieta: natūrali gamta, aplinkui pelkės, iš lankytojų centro galima stebėti su žiūronais retus paukščius, o jų tarpe pamatėme net juodąjį flamingą.

    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful national park with well signposted hiking routes. It is a shame that parts of these paths are also used by the quad / jeep safaris. If that doesn't bother you, you can enjoy great views of a breathtaking landscape and a sea like from a picture book. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Nationalpark mit gut ausgeschilderten Wanderrouten. Schade ist, dass Teile dieser Wege auch von den Quad-/Jeep-Safaris genutzt werden. Wen das ebenso wenig stört erlebt tolle Ausblicke auf eine atemberaubende Landschaft und ein Meer wie aus dem Bilderbuch.

👍👍 Interesting place. Had chance to pass this place few times and all those times we were having fun of checking the gravity. First with the bottle full of water, and then with our car going up the hill on neutral gear. If you stop at that place and try to walk around you might feel a little bit sick.
