We've made good progress, and as you can see, the road is still fine. When exploring anywhere in Cyprus, you should always make sure you have plenty of water and a charged mobile phone. You should also ensure you have a spare tyre and know how to change a wheel in an emergency. If you do run into problems, the local Cypriots are a friendly bunch, and will usually offer to help, but if you are in a remote spot, you may be on your own. Finally, check the small print if you are renting a car, and make sure you know exactly what is and isn't covered.

Lara Bay

Lara Bay is a bit of an enigma. If you approach from the direction of Paphos and Coral Bay, on the main road, you may well end at the beach by Lara Bay Restaurant. Confusingly, this is not Lara Bay. So go back to the main track, and continue into the Akamas for a little while longer. The turtles await...
