DAY 1: PAPHOS CASTLE
We suggest that you get yourself down to central Paphos which you will see sign posted as Kato Paphos, Kato meaning lower, which is where the sea is and you will also see Pano Paphos meaning higher or above which is where the old town is based., thinking of a Panorama which is what you can see when above Kato Paphos.

If you walk around to the right of the castle (as you approach it) you will be able to take a longer walk along the sea front and enjoy the rocky coastline before heading back to the town.

Lara Bay is a hidden gem in the Akamas famous for the nesting of loggerhead/green turtles in season. Only accessible via guided tour, or those happy to navigate in dirt racks, the best time to plan a visit to the station is during hatching season (from May to August), when it's possible to see the tiny turtles waddle their way down towards the sea from protected nests.
