Perched on a hillside with panoramic views of the sea, Pegeia is most famous for its scenic village square. Here, the village's time-honoured fountains still stand — once gathering spots for women to wash clothes and collect water. Further down, Coral Bay offers one of the finest sandy stretches in the Pafos region, annually awarded a Blue Flag for its excellent water quality. For a cultural detour, visit the Agios Georgios Church. Inside, you'll discover a 6th-century basilica complex that boasts rare geometric and animal floor mosaics — a unique find in Christian art. History buffs should also make time for Maa-Paleokastro, the Bronze Age landing spot of the Mycenaean Greeks, situated on a nearby peninsula.

As one of Britain’s busiest harbours with a rich maritime heritage, a visit to the Maritime Museum with its splendid views of the harbour is a must when visiting Aberdeen. Find out what it is like to work on a North Sea oil rig or explore the hundreds of ship models and exhibits about shipbuilding, whaling, life and work at sea, and learn about Aberdeen’s special relationship with the sea.

Kapparis beach (a recipient of the Blue Flag accreditation) is found north of Protaras, in the homonymous district of Kapparis. It is also known as the beach of MMAD, named after the training centre of the Police Rapid Response Unit (MMAD), located nearby. It is a small, fine golden sandy beach with clear waters and is very popular with locals and tourists happy to give the hectic beaches a miss. There are sun loungers and parasols available for hire, and the area is patrolled by a lifeguard.

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.
