The engine kicks, dust rises, and the coastline unspools: cliffs drop to pale coves, scrubby maquis brushes the buggy’s flanks, and the Edro III rests like a rusting prop in a turquoise cove. This half-day buggy safari launches from Paphos and pushes northwest into the semi‑arid sweep of the Akamas Peninsula, trading paved roads for rutted tracks that reveal sea caves, shipwreck views, and the sheltered sands of Lara Bay.
