This eight-hour jeep safari departs from Paphos and explores Akamas National Park. The tour begins with a visit to the Edro III Shipwreck, a well-known coastal landmark. Next, the group stops at the Sea Caves to observe unusual natural rock formations that have developed over thousands of years. The route continues through the Akamas Peninsula forest, including a swim stop available from April to November. Afterwards, participants take a 40-minute walk through Avakas Gorge, a rocky path surrounded by thick vegetation. During the walk, native plants such as lentisk, Phoenician juniper, terebinth, thorny broom, oleander, storax, and the endangered Akamas centaury can be seen. Local wildlife includes foxes, hares, hedgehogs, and endemic birds like the Cyprus wheatear, Cyprus warbler, scops owl, partridge, little owl, kestrel, and wild pigeon, as well as reptiles and amphibians. The safari then visits Lara Beach, a protected nesting ground for sea turtles, where cages and signs mark turtle nests and the conservation station may have recently hatched turtles on display. After Lara Beach, the group has one hour of free time for lunch in Latchi. Following lunch, the tour visits the Baths of Aphrodite, a garden area with a grotto linked to local legend. The trip concludes with a final stop back at the Edro III Shipwreck near Paphos. The jeep is equipped with air conditioning, and parking fees are included. Lunch is not included in the tour price.
