Latchi Attractions: Exploring the “Wilderness”
While the Latchi food scene might keep you busy, you’ll want to explore the natural landscape that makes this region so special.
- The Akamas Trails: Hike the Aphrodite or Adonis Trails. These loops offer breathtaking panoramic views of the entire bay.
- The Baths of Aphrodite: Visit the legendary grotto where the goddess of love was said to bathe. It is a peaceful, shaded spot surrounded by ancient fig trees.
- Village Life: Take a drive up to Neo Chorio or Droushia. These stone-built villages offer a glimpse into traditional life, local crafts, and cooler mountain air.
- Historical Exploration: Visit the Marion-Arsinoe Archaeological Museum in Polis to see artifacts that date back to the Neolithic period.
The Ultimate Way to Explore: George’s Watersports
Even after you’ve explored every trail and tasted every meze, the most transformative way to see the coast is from the water. The Akamas is a wilderness that reveals its best secrets—like the hidden sea caves and the neon-blue waters of the Blue Lagoon—to those on a boat.
At George’s Watersports, we’ve been helping visitors discover these hidden gems since 1989.
