Discovering Cape Greco National Forest Park: A Gem for UK Tourists

Right on the eastern part of Cyprus, the Cape Greco National Forest Park is a paradise not just for nature lovers but for adventure seekers as well. The area is famous for its magnificent scenery, clear water, and a plethora of living organisms making this park an extraordinary getaway that you would love to discover.

A Natural Wonderland

At the entrance of the park at Cape Greco, lies a beautiful scene filled with nature. The park has spectacular cliffs stretching down to the Mediterranean Ocean which offer breathtaking views that no one can ever forget. Whether you are walking along the shores or sunbathing on one of the many hidden coves, the beauty of this region will engage you completely.

Scenic Trails

In this part of the island, there is a variety of different trails for all those who enjoy hiking. A well-known area with good photo opportunities is the walking trail to the Cape Greco Lighthouse where stunning views of the coastline can be enjoyed. Some of the paths are suitable for anyone out for a walk while other more advanced trails designed for the hikers are also available. Do wear closed shoes and ensure that you carry sufficient water!

Rich Marine Life

But Cape Greco is not only a land wonder; it’s also a great point for sea life. The waters that surround the park are free from pollution and belong to a sheltered marine park, which makes it great for snorkelling and scuba diving. There is a perfect and colourful underwater world which is appealing to many tourists with multicolour fishes and sea turtles in addition to beautiful rocks and much more underwater. Regardless if you are a professional diver or if it’s your first time snorkelling, the ocean will blow your mind.

Thrilling Adventures

If you’re feeling a little bolder, Cape Greco presents numerous outdoor opportunities. You could rent a kayak for instance and venture into the several hidden sea caves and untouched bays on the shore. For those who want to live a little closer to the edge, the experience of plunging from cliffs into the tranquil water is another that should be included on your itinerary. Just don’t forget to check the local weather and safety rules!

A Cultural Touch

Cape Greco itself is beautiful, but also contains culture in it. This place also contains many archaeological goods such as ruins or chapels meaning that Cyprus had fancier past. Agioi Anargyroi Chapel that is located on the top of a cliff at the sea must be visited as well. Being so quiet, and picturesque at the same time, contributes the most towards the viewpoint and photography.

Plan Your Visit

The best time to see Cape Greco is during spring or autumn seasons, when the favorable weather and smaller crowds make it easier to navigate. If you are arriving from the UK, Larnaca or Paphos airports are very handy, since they are not too far from the park. Use car rentals, which will assist you in moving around the surrounding areas at your own pace. After all the exploration that's done, it's great to head back to one of the villas in Ayia Napa with private pool - a symbol of where you can go to just relax and unwind.

Tips for a Memorable Experience
  • Pack Essentials: If hiking is in your plans, you will need sun-hats, sunscreen, and drinks especially water.

Therefore, let’s pack our bags and get ourselves ready to take a tour to one of the finest creations of nature!
