EDEN Route 3: Kato Pyrgos – Polis – Latsi – Baths of Aphrodite

The breeze of the sea!

The EDEN Route 3 starts from the awarded village of Kato Pyrgos as a "European Destination of Excellence in Aquatic Tourism 2010" in the framework of the program EDEN - European Destinations of Excellence. The village is rich in history and natural beauty. The ruins of the medieval tower (Observatory) is a place where visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of the area. It is an ideal place for swimming as it is renowned for its clear blue waters. Next stop is the seaside resort, Polis, also known as Polis Chrysochous. Polis has been awarded "European Destination of Excellence in Accessible Tourism 2013". The EDEN Route 3 is ideal for sea lovers since most of the interested points in the area reveal the clear blue sea. The picturesque harbour of Latchi or Lakki is ideal for traditional seafood and other Cypriot delicacies. A must to go and visit is the famous Baths of Aphrodite, that according to the myth, Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love, used to have her bath at the natural cave. The EDEN Route 3 ends at the Akamas peninsula, an area of great natural beauty, a landmass untouched by development and full of endemic plants and ecosystems.
