Between the Blue and the Green: Unveiling the Untamed Nature of Cyprus

4. The Wild West: Akamas Peninsula

For those seeking true wilderness, the Akamas Peninsula on the western tip of the island is the ultimate destination. Largely untouched by development, this national park is a sanctuary of biodiversity. It is home to the stunning Avakas Gorge, a canyon with soaring limestone walls that narrow so much they almost block out the sun. The peninsula is a rugged terrain of gorges, valleys, and sandy bays, offering a glimpse of what Cyprus looked like thousands of years ago.
