We invite you to visit one of our most popular excursions, which combines two exciting journeys: bus and sea cruise. We will visit the most picturesque and famous corners of the island. On the road from Limassol to Paphos is the unique birthplace of Aphrodite, one of the most picturesque places on the coast of Cyprus. This will be our first stop. According to Greek mythology, it was here that the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam. Homer called Aphrodite Cypris, the goddess of Cyprus, which is why Cyprus is called the island of love. The modern name of this place - Petra tou Romiou - "Roman Rock" is associated with another legend: the legendary Byzantine warrior Digenis Akritas.
Our next place to visit is also connected with the goddess Aphrodite. This is the Akamas Botanical Garden, where the Baths of Aphrodite are located in a cozy corner. The Baths of Aphrodite are sometimes also called the Grotto of Aphrodite. In this oasis, a small botanical garden has been created, which can be seen while walking along the paths. The Baths of Aphrodite are a small natural bath, into which clear water from the springs flows down the stones. The grotto is covered with grape vines, which makes this place even more beautiful.
In the port of the village of Latchi, you will have free time for lunch in one of the local taverns, or for a walk along the coast or buying souvenirs, and then we will board a boat that will take us to the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most beautiful places for swimming in Cyprus. This place got its name from the extremely clear blue water, through which the underwater world is clearly visible. On the way to the Blue Lagoon, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Akamas coastline, see the church of St. George and learn its history, admire the beautiful natural sea caves of Manolis Bay. In the azure and crystal waters of the lagoon, you can swim, snorkeling or ride a water slide, as well as relax in the shade on the deck of the boat. At this time, the captain will offer you a pleasant gift (wine, seasonal fruits and juice). The trip and swimming in the Blue Lagoon will leave you with pleasant memories for many years. After the boat cruise, we begin our journey back to Limassol.

Our day spent at the serene lagoon was nothing short of magical—we couldn’t help but marvel at the vibrant hues of blue that surrounded us. A moment that truly stood out was when we took a leisurely swim right by the mythical birthplace, feeling both exhilarated and connected to the rich stories of the past. While the guide was knowledgeable, we did wish for a bit more time to soak in the views without feeling rushed. Overall, the combination of stunning scenery and engaging history made for an unforgettable adventure with friends. Just remember to pack a snack for the journey, as the lunch stop could have been a bit more varied!

Exploring the stunning blue waters of the lagoon was a highlight of my day, and I felt a deep connection walking near Aphrodite’s birthplace. However, the tour could have been improved with a bit more time at each stop, as I found myself wanting to linger longer in Limassol’s beautiful scenery.
