Experience one of Cyprus’s most popular tours, combining a scenic bus ride with a relaxing boat cruise along the stunning Akamas coastline.
Petra tou Romiou – Birthplace of Aphrodite
Begin your day at Petra tou Romiou, the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, where mythology says the goddess of love and beauty rose from the sea foam. This dramatic coastal site also holds ties to the heroic Byzantine figure Digenis Akritas, adding a rich cultural layer to your visit.
Baths of Aphrodite – A Serene Retreat
Next, wander through the Baths of Aphrodite, a peaceful grotto nestled in Akamas Botanical Garden. Shaded by vines and fed by natural spring water, this was believed to be Aphrodite’s favorite retreat. Stroll along the garden paths, enjoy the lush scenery, and capture beautiful photos.
Latchi Harbor: Free Time & Optional Museum
Arrive at the charming port village of Latchi for free time. Enjoy a seaside lunch, explore the waterfront, or, for an extra fee, you may visit the Sea & Culture Museum in Polis — a modern, interactive museum showcasing Cyprus’ maritime heritage and coastal biodiversity with immersive, high-tech exhibits.
Blue Lagoon Cruise
Board the boat for a cruise to the famous Blue Lagoon. Admire the Akamas coastline, natural sea caves, and the picturesque Saint George Chapel. Swim in crystal-clear waters, snorkel, or relax on deck and enjoy a complimentary welcome from the captain — wine, fresh fruit, and juice— the perfect end to a memorable day.
Return to Limassol
After the cruise, return to Limassol, taking with you unforgettable memories of Cyprus’s mythology, nature, and stunning coastline.

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.
