The boat eases away from Latchi harbour and the Akamas coast opens like a page of weathered limestone and low maquis scrub; the sea, a stubborn blue, dares you to jump. On this full-day excursion from Paphos you ride by coach to the launch point, cut across sheltered coves, and drop anchor in the famed Blue Lagoon for long swims, cliff-side photo stops and a couple of playful minutes on a boat-mounted water slide.

Pack a snorkel mask
The lagoon’s visibility rewards snorkeling; a personal mask fits better than rentals in crowded conditions.
