Sail from Latchi with transfer from Paphos to the Akamas’ Blue Lagoon for a guided coastal cruise and one hour of snorkeling. Clear water, abundant small reef fish and light refreshments make this a laid-back half-day sea escape.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips out of Latchi harbour with the coastline easing away — low cliffs give way to the open blue, and the sea seems to pull you forward. Salt air carries stories of Aphrodite and Adonis as the captain threads the Akamas headland; the water ahead brightens to the lagoon’s signature turquoise and the ladder drops for the first swimmers.

History
Latchi and Polis were small fishing communities with centuries of coastal trade; local folklore ties the Akamas area to Aphrodite myths that feature in guides’ storytelling.
Conservation
The Akamas peninsula is ecologically sensitive; visitors are asked to avoid anchoring on seagrass, use reef-safe sunscreen and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the Blue Lagoon trip with Transfer from Paphos including 1 hour swim today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring a fitted mask
Masks offered may not fit everyone; a personal mask prevents leaks and fogging so you get the most from the hour in the water.
Protect your skin
Use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply between swims — sun reflects strongly off the water and UV exposure adds up fast.
Beat seasickness
If you’re prone to nausea, take an over-the-counter remedy before boarding and sit mid-ship where movement is least noticeable.
Mind marine life
Avoid touching seagrass, coral or animals; keep a hand-free snorkel to steady yourself without disturbing habitat.
