Board a luxury cruise from Latchi and spend a half-day exploring Akamas: pass the Baths of Aphrodite, see St. George’s islet, and swim or snorkel in the Blue Lagoon — with a waterslide for added fun.

The morning you leave Paphos, the bus eases through coastal scrub and cork oaks until the harbor at Latchi opens like a promise. Onboard, the largest local cruise boat hums awake; a bright waterslide arcs off the stern, daring you to be first. The vessel slips past jagged limestone cliffs where the Akamas Peninsula meets the sea, and the water changes from steel to the trademark electric turquoise of the Blue Lagoon.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Akamas marine environment is sensitive—use mineral sunscreen to protect reefs and avoid skin irritation after saltwater swims.
Use water shoes
Rocky shorelines and boat ladders can be slippery; water shoes improve grip when entering or exiting the boat.
Stay near the boat
Currents can pull swimmers; remain within the crew’s designated swimming area and watch the safety brief.
Protect electronics
Bring a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras—the spray and slide make electronics vulnerable.
