Routes To The Blue Lagoon

The Route From Above
Another drone shot. It isn't 100% relevant but it is a lovely picture.
The Blue Lagoon
As you can see, they are packing the boats in at the lagoon. To take the route back, we actually drive past here, and head inland.
At The Lagoon
The sand has returned here. A couple of years ago, the sand on the little beach here was washed away in a storm. It has since returned. We prefer using this little area to launch a snorkelling expeditions from. Further around is where all the boats go.
Buggy Buggers
Most of the vehicles you see here are ATVs. I guess they must be fun to drive but they don't half kick up a dust storm.
Through The Farm
As I said, we drove past the Blue Lagoon then doubled-back. The track goes through a farm, before ascending a steep, bumpy hill.

The Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is one of the jewels in Cyprus' glittering crown. Whether you arrive by boat, or take the bumpy ride that hugs the Akamas cliffs, a scene of beauty awaits you when you get there. It's such a nice place that we can't do it justice in a blog, so this forms part of a bigger presentation, featuring films and a virtual tour. What are you waiting for?

If you have ever driven to the Blue Lagoon via the coastal road, you can be forgiven for not spotting this delightful little church en route.

We were out exploring in the Akamas the other day, and we came across this lovely old Olive Tree. I can't help wondering how long it has stood here...Related Pages
Video ClipDriving Beyond The Blue Lagoon
In this video we start at the Blue Lagoon, having driven here from Aphrodite's Baths. Having negotiated the steep drops, we now only have an incredibly bumpy ride to contend with. Eventually the suction arm the camera is attached to starts conking out, but not before we take you further around the tip of the Akamas.
Video ClipFrom Aphrodite's Bath to Blue Lagoon
In this film we take a drive along the dangerous coast road from Aphrodite's Bath to the Blue Lagoon. This route should be treated with respect, as it has claimed several lives over recent years. That being said, if you drive sensibly and keep your eyes on the road, it is actually fairly straightforward.
Video ClipFrom Blue Lagoon to Smigies Junction
In this film we say goodbye to The Blue Lagoon and head back to civilisation via the inland route. In our opinion, this is a much tougher route than the coastal route, at least in terms of road quality.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
