Akamas is a stunning promontory and cape at the northwest tip of Cyprus, known for its diverse flora and fauna. This area, covering 230 square kilometers, offers a haven for wildlife like fruit bats, foxes, and sea turtles. Visitors can explore gorges, turtle-nesting beaches, and even the Baths of Aphrodite, where the goddess supposedly bathed. Despite facing threats from tourist development and fires, Akamas remains a unique and exclusive destination for those seeking more than just sun, sea, and sand.
