LARA BAY - AKAMAS PENINSULA -CYPRUS

LARA BAY - AKAMAS PENINSULA -CYPRUS 

Lara bay can be found on one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Cyprus - theAkamas peninsula.

Home to the Green Turtle, one of the few places in the Mediterranean where this turtle returns to breed, Lara is shaped like a horse shoe and is a mixture of soft sand and rocks. Proposed as a National Park, the Akamas has a wild and rugged beauty unlike anything else on the island.Lara bay can be found on one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Cyprus - theAkamas peninsula.

Lara bay sits on the Paphos side, approximately 8 km from Ayios Georgios and is accessible only by a 4x4 vehicle and a very bumpy ride!

Long may it stay that way to prevent mass tourism and the concrete mixers from invading!

The fragile beauty of the Akamas is forever under threat from greedy developers and hoteliers. Limited development has already begun on the Latchi/Polis side of the peninsula, fuelled by the building of a luxury spa resort, the Anassa, in the late 90s.

Beyond Lara bay, there are many rocky coves that are completely deserted and just waiting to be discovered so it's a great day out if you like adventure in a 4x4.
