Adonis Nature Trail

Scenic five-mile hiking trail of the gods.

Reviewed By spencefamily2017 - Colchester, United Kingdom

we wanted to complete the combined Adonis and Aphrodite trail. To do so, park at the Aphrodite Baths car park and walk back along the road to the start of the Adonis nature trail. Follow the path up and keep to the red dots, there are a couple of occasions where it seems more obvious to take a different route but look for the red dots and you can't go wrong. You'll come a trail cross roads with sign posts, now follow the Aphrodite trail, you'll climb up another mountain and see the blue lagoon from the top. The path then winds it's way down the coast and eventually to the Baths of Aphrodite and then back to the car park. Walk this way round starting with the Adonis trail for the best views of the coast, you'll miss out if you walk the other way

Pano Akourdaelia Herb Garden

Pano Akourdaleia herb garden is the home to resident herbalist Caroline Evans and her business Heaven on Earth Herbals. Originally the old village school house and playground, the building and garden was fixed by the Laona project using a European grant in the early to mid 1990's, although since then it was not looked after as was intended. The garden has the same name as the small church across the road called 'Chrysseleoussa' literally meaning Golden Gift of which it now is to the village as Herbalist Caroline Evans has revived and replanted the herb garden and brought the life back to the village. Nowadays a small coffeeshop serves herbal teas, healthy drinks and gluten free cakes is onsite of the beautiful herb garden along with a working apothecary and herb shop. Caroline is on hand to answer your health needs and provide full consultations. These days workshops learning about your body, herbal teas and coffee mornings are run as well as group tours and the hugely successful and enjoyable monthly Farmers Market (1st sunday). Summer opening hours (1st April-31st Oct) Tuesdays until Sundays 10am-5pm and Winter opening hours (1st Nov-31st March) Wednesdays-Sundays 9am-4pm.

Aphrodite's Beach

Reviewed By Peteski2016 - Larnaca, Cyprus

This is where Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love appeared from the sea and it is a picturesque and well visited place with a small store with icecream etc and you actually walk through a tunnel under the road to get there. It is considered very fortune to swim around the rock 3 times so bring your swim wear and camera.

Latchi Beach

Reviewed By manny315 - Wakefield, United Kingdom

The beach is lovely... crystal clear warm waters, great for swimming, paddling or just cooling your feet. We were there October/November and the weather was in the mid 20s so still warm enough for us to go swimming. It was very quiet, not many people at all. There are a some good shower and changing cubicles dotted along the beach, and one or two restaurants and bars. In one direction is Latchi centre and in the other direction you can walk all the way to Polis, this takes about 15 minutes to reach the campsite at Polis and then another 10 minutes into Polis centre.

Baths of Aphrodite

Reviewed By Z4639BNandrewd - Liverpool, United Kingdom

I got the bus from Polis to visit this lovely place. You have the option of walking along the well maintained path directly to the baths (a natural pool fed by a waterfall) or diverting to the left immediately after the entrance and walking around the circular nature trail which I found to be well worthwhile (good shoes required). The baths are great cool oasis on a hot day and there are well maintained paths and steps leading to them. When I visited it was free to enter. I f you feel farly energetic, you can take the nature trail walk back rather than turning back to the entrance. Oh and there ae coffee and delicous ice cream kiosks before the entrance. I finished my visit off with a visit to the beach (down some steps behind Aphrodite's hotel taverna just down the road) for a refreshing dip followed by a nice inexpensive liunch at the taverna overlooking the beatiful sea.
