The Sea Caves
Nearly
Between the rock and myself is yet another ledge. I could have walked through the sea water to get right next to it, but I didn't want my boots to get wet. So instead I followed the ledge around until I could climb onto it.
Free Standing Majesty
From the ledge I was able to get this close. Looking at it, I am still amazed that it survives the winter batterings. You can see that the rock is free standing. I guess it is just big enough to rely on its weight to keep it in place.
A Sea Cave!
And down close to sea level you can see more of the caves that give the area its name.
More Caves
If this was an Enid Blyton story at least one of those caves would lead up to a smuggler's cottage inland.
Back To The Start
That concludes my walk around Sea Caves. Hopefully the path I walked up will mark the lower boundary of housing development. There really aren't that many plots left before the area becomes saturated. If you want to experience the real beauty of the sea caves, follow one of the paths I featured, and get down to sea level. It is truly stunning.

Agios Georgios Harbour
Given that Cyprus is an island, there are surprisingly few harbours on its coastline. One such can be found at Agios Georgios, on the edge of the Akamas. And as well as the harbour, there are also some ancient caves and an Archaeological Park, so it is well worth a visit, as you shall see...

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.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
