Discover the essence of tranquillity in Polis Chrysochous — Cyprus's least developed coastline. For a serene escape, head to Akamas National Forest Park. This natural sanctuary offers more than just stunning vistas; it's home to "The Baths of Aphrodite" — a freshwater grotto enveloped by a wild fig tree, said to be a favoured spot of the goddess herself. For a gastronomic treat, look no further than Latchi Harbour. This peaceful locale serves up fresh fish dishes that encapsulate the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. If you're keen on soaking up some local culture, stroll through the town's pedestrian centre. Nature aficionados will relish a visit to Lara Beach, one of the Mediterranean's last havens for green loggerhead turtles, revived through successful conservation efforts. Walk one of the park's numerous nature trails to spot rare local flora like the Cyprus orchid or catch a glimpse of migrating birds.

Transport yourself back in time by the ruins of what once served as the most important religious centre for indigenous people on the Peruvian coast. Situated 40 km southeast of Lima, the archaeological site of Pachacamac is a good day trip from the city where you get to explore the remains of pyramidal temples as well as other impressive ancient constructions.

Playas del Coco is one of the oldest beach communities in Guanacaste Province, located about 32 kilometres from the town of Liberia. The beaches here are known for the beautiful sunsets — the beach faces north, so there is always a shadow, and the sun sets over the hills or in between land and an island. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, paved sidewalks, tree-lined beach walks and a gradual surf.
