A wind-raw coastline meets limestone cliffs as the day begins in Paphos; spray from the turquoise surf carries salt and the scent of herbs inland. The tour opens at the stranded Edro III, its rusted hull framed by cliffs that have watched centuries of tides—here the sea dares you to look closer and the caves answer with shadowed mouths carved by wind and wave.
