I noticed it but it wasn't worth a picture for me

Worth seeing & impressive detour not far from the hiking trail

A bath there promises eternal beauty😇

This starts at the Avakas Gorge car park. The first section of the route resembles a botanical garden and presents a variety of native plants. Then comes the attraction of the hike: rock walls over 30 meters high that form a narrow gorge. Shortly afterwards, the gorge becomes much more open, but the rocks rise even higher into the sky. The last section of the gorge is characterized by forest and boulders that must be climbed over. Outside the Avakas Gorge, a hiking trail runs back across the plateau in the hinterland. At the end of this route, beautiful viewpoints of the blue coast of Cyprus await you. The entire hike is 7.1 kilometers long (from car park no. 3) and it took me about 2.5 hours. The route does not have a significant incline, so no exceptional fitness is required. However, you must be very alert inside the gorge. Rocks can fall into the gorge, the rocks on the ground are slippery and when the weather changes, the small stream can become a raging torrent. Do not go into the Avakas Gorge after heavy rain or when there is a high probability of rain. Waterproof hiking boots are a must, even when it is dry. The paths are rocky, unmarked and often not clearly visible. You should definitely have a GPS map with you. There are no places to stop for refreshments or drinking water on the hike, so you should take enough provisions with you. I have marked the route and all the important points on the map.

Large bay with incredibly turquoise water - a real Caribbean feeling on the Mediterranean. You are rarely alone here, though. The first boats anchor there early in the morning. Swimming is best done from the boat. For hikers, other great bays nearby offer better beaches and more seclusion.

The Bath of Aphrodite is a small natural grotto under an old fig tree. Water flows steadily down the rock face and splashes into the wonderful, shady Bath of Aphrodite. A beautiful place. There is nothing going on before 10 a.m....the size of the parking lot suggests that it will be busier later.

This is a very good way to imagine a divine bath. Who knows which water nymphs still inhabit this spring?
