I speak from experience. When I was halfway down I walked out onto the rocks. From there I was able to see the cave and the tiny little bay it resides in.

I jumped down from the rock to into the bay, and took a picture of the cave. The observant among you will note that it doesn't exactly resemble a dragon. So why is it so called? Well, there are two legends, so take your pick.

The legends are obviously written in Greek, and have been translated, but from what I can work out, the first one indicates that a dragon lived in the cave and protected the locals from pirates. The second legend refers to a Dragon and a Dracaena. Now, I googled Dracanea and it turns out to be a house plant. I am fairly certain that that's not what they meant. But a bit of investigation reveals that Dracanea is also the ancient Greek word for a female dragon. So basically a Dragon couple lived here. They guarded the fresh water that runs through the cave. There are two large rocks outside the cave and it is said that the couple rested on them.

Of course they did.

You don't need to jump off the rock, or Dragon's Perch, to get to the cave. Instead, keep to the staircase. If you do this, you will find it ends at a junction. To your right is the beach, and to your left is an easy way of getting to the cave.

So now let's take a look at the beach. Outside of the cave, the biggest draw the beach has is it's wild appearance. It is surrounded by trees and shrubs which is unusual for a beach.

At this time of year there is usually a fair amount of seaweed on a lot of Paphos beaches. This is actually a good thing, and signifies how clean the water is. On most beaches the seaweed gets removed once the winter storms have finished. In the case of the more remote beaches though, you will have to fend for yourself.
