5.Jeep Safari to Akamas National Park: Avakas Gorge Tour from Paphos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 249 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $84

Spend about eight hours exploring western Cyprus by small-group jeep, with hotel pickup, off-road tracks, an Avakas Gorge hike, Lara Bay, Latchi lunch time, Aphrodite’s Baths, and the Edro III shipwreck. Guides such as Mario, Bambos, and Philipos add local color, but expect bumpy roads and possible changes for weather or closures.

“The jeep ride is over rough terrain and this off-roading allows you to see and hike in the beautiful Akama national park, see vineyards, carob and olive plantations, and even a tiny 12th century church which not many tourists get to see. This would have been impossible with a regular rented car. We also got to swim in the mediterranean for a full hour after seeing Aphrodite's baths and then had a delicious fish lunch in Latsi. The day concluded by seeing the Edro III Shipwreck and sea caves. Worth every cent, and our tour guide was very friendly and engaging.”
