The Blue Lagoon
The big feature about the Blue Lagoon, other than its essential blueness, is the island in the middle.
Buoys
If you do hire a boat, play close attention to those buoys.
Go For A Swim
The blue colour at the blue lagoon stems from the sandy bottom. However, around the rocks and the island there are plenty of nooks and crannies for fish to hide in. It is a great place to go snorkelling.
Snorkelling in the Blue Lagoon
Here's a little film of us doing just that. We swam around the island while we were recording this. We didn't see a huge amount of fish but there were lots of tiny fry swimming around us. Odd that a baby fish is called a fry. Bit of black humour going on there, considering their ultimate destiny. But I looked it up, and that's what they are called, so there you have it.
The Grand Tour
And here's our virtual tour of the Blue Lagoon and the island. If you make it to the island yourself, make sure you are wearing appropriate footwear. You can buy swimming shoes from a lot of the kiosks in the area, and they cost under €10. Paps sell them too. Believe me, they will make your experience a whole lot more enjoyable.

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.
