Cape Greco National Park

★★★ Cape Greco (Kavo Gkreko)

The cape at the southeastern tip of Cyprus is a protected national park and one of the most beautiful coastal sections of the island. Dramatic cliffs plunge 30–40 meters into the turquoise sea, natural rock bridges span caves, and the view extends to Lebanon on a clear day.

Sea Caves

Along the west side of the cape, wind and waves have carved spectacular caves and rock formations into the cliffs. The most famous is the "Lovers Bridge" — a natural rock bridge over the sea. The caves can be reached by hiking trail (15 min. from the parking lot) or by kayak. In calm seas, you can swim and snorkel into the caves — the play of light underwater is magical.

Sea Caves parking lot, 5 km east of Ayia Napa on the coastal road. Free. Best in the morning (light!) or at sunset.

Kamara tou Koraka (Natural Arch)

The most famous natural arch in Cyprus — a massive rock bridge spanning a bay. A hotspot for photographers, especially at sunrise. Accessible by hiking trail (1 km from the parking lot).

Hiking Trails

The Cape Greco Trail (4 km, 1.5h) runs along the cliffs with panoramic views. Easy, well-marked, also suitable for children. Go early morning (before 9 AM) or in the evening — during the day it's shadeless and hot.

Blue Hole

A natural rock opening at Cape Greco, popular with cliff jumpers and snorkelers. The water is deep and crystal clear. Not an official swimming beach — at your own risk. Spectacular, but not suitable for children.

Cape Greco National Park. Free. 24/7 accessible. The tip of the cape is a military restricted area (British base, radar) — not accessible.
