The island of Cyprus<\/strong> lies in the eastern Mediterranean, described as the island of love,  where the Greek goddess of love and beauty<\/strong>, Aphrodite, is said to have emerged from the waves that crash on the shores of Cyprus. The third-biggest island<\/strong> in the Mediterranean Sea is home to astonishing natural wonders: mountains, sea caves, fine sand beaches, and shallow dreamy lagoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites such as Coral Bay<\/strong>, Konnos Beach<\/strong>, or Cape Greco<\/strong> are some of the few you should definitely visit. However, many of these sites can be hard to reach by foot or car<\/strong>. Luckily for you, there are many daily boat trips that navigate to observe the rugged coastline of Cyprus. Here you can find the perfect boat trip for your adventure across the island!

    The highlight of this region is without question the legendary \u201cBirthplace of Aphrodite<\/strong>\u201d. In the seashore of one of Paphos beaches lies a giant rock, where the Goddess of Love is said to have been born from the sea foam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This part of Paphos is a must-see scenery, with its impressive coastline with hidden coves and cliffs. From the pebbly beach at the Birthplace of Aphrodite, you can see rugged white cliffs surrounded by glassy azure waters. 
    The popularly named rock of Aphrodite is also a concurred swimming stop<\/strong> during boat trips. The legend has that anyone who swims around the rock will be blessed with eternal<\/strong> beauty<\/strong>, and many people seek to dive in these waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The area surrounding this lagoon, rich in endemic island flora, outlined by the golden rocky coastline, makes this site a great location<\/strong> for both swimming and snorkeling. Since the lagoon is within a protected nature reserve, the easiest way to reach the Lagoon (also known as Fontana Amorosa) is to take a boat trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are various routes departing from Latchi or Paphos<\/strong>, and some of these excursions include unlimited drinks and a delicious lunch onboard<\/strong>. Depending on the duration of the tour, they usually do 1 or 2 swimming stops<\/strong>, as well as visiting other iconic locations around the island.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Coral Bay constitutes another of these sought-after locations<\/strong> for visitors and locals alike. This side of the island is characterized by its impressive cliffside villas<\/strong>, golden sandy beaches, and fine restaurants and hotels. Its scenic views from the sea<\/strong>, multiple beaches, and transparent and warm water make it a very busy area where boats usually drop anchor. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A cruise along the bay is a great choice as most of the beaches are lined with sunbeds and umbrellas that you need to pay for, especially during the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n
