The stereotyped idea of Cyprus as a place of lazy beach holiday is changing instantly, it is only necessary to go outside the hotel. Destroys the familiar picture, in particular, the Akamas Peninsula in the north-western part of Cyprus. It is believed that the area is named in memory of the son of the mythological Theseus - Akamantis, who sailed to Cyprus after the end of the Trojan War. In the protected area, which is under the protection of UNESCO, you can travel only in jeeps, because the roads here - a simple gravel, then climbing up, then diving down. The territory of the peninsula is the best suited for fans of SUVs, fans of tracking, for which routes are laid near the font of Aphrodite.

Of course, the best time for walks in Akamas is spring, when all the hills are buried in greenery. In the summer it is good to be there in the evening, when on a wide, open to all winds the beach, you can arrange a picnic and feel all the power of wildlife.
