Blue Lagoon Akamas Bus & Boat Tour

Starting with an easy pick up from a bus stop just down for the hotel we were staying at, you take a nice easy ride on the coach to the Edro III shipwreck. Stopping for a short 15 photo opportunity with beautiful views out of the sea caves and the shipwreck, there's also a little cafe and public toilets to use. From there it's back on the coach and off to Latchi, with Anna providing insightful and rather hilarious knowledge about local history, the vineyards and what to expect from the boat trip. One arriving in Latchi, it's onto the boat which has a decently priced bar, changing facilities and 2 floors of seating, including an uncovered deck for relaxing in the sun. A scenic sail up the coast ensues with stunning views of the cliffs and beaches in crystal blue sea, while the captain on the boat provides locations to look out for enroute. There are some fantastic photo opportunities on the way to the blue lagoon. Once at the blue lagoon, you're greeted with stunning clear sea. As soon as anchor is down, there is an opportunity to swim, with the sea being a refreshing temperature in the middle of may as well as a slide attached to the front of the boat for launching yourself into the water. After an hour of what is the most relaxing and picturesque sea swim, it's back on the boat for a local crisp white wine, local oranges and some local orange juice. After the 40 minute trip back to the dock, the coach then takes stunning winding roads up to the baths of Aphrodite (accompanied by more hilarious stories from Anna), and the amazing view out over Aphrodites beach. To finish the afternoon, it's a trip to polis, on the edge of latsi, for a relaxing stroll round the shops and for lunch of your choice. As recommended by Anna, we chose to have a delicious homemade meal at Moustakallis Tavern. Would definitely recommend for the qualltiy of food, and friendliness of the staff. After an hour and a half in Polis it's back to the coach. Absolutely wonderful day complete.

Anna our guide was friendly and informative and Lambros was an excellent driver. The drive to Latchi over up through the mountain pass was lovely with great views. First stop was Aphrodite’s bath reached by a short stroll along an uphill path (note if you have mobility issues) where you reached a small waterfall into a dark pool . I washed my face in the water from the tap I shall await my eternal beauty! Then over to Latch port, the boat Latchi Queen was comfortable but a bit breezy at times once we got going (take a light cardigan/cover up) sailed past Aphrodite's rock and then anchored in a beautiful sheltered bay to swim. The water was a beautiful turquoise colour but freezing at first but once acclimatised it was wasn’t too bad, around 19 degrees in May, the slide looked good fun but not for me (worried it might cause an issue with an existing back issue) We were given plenty of time to swim before heading back. Wine, juice and oranges were served on the return journey. Next stop was lunch in Polis, we decided to go to the one our lovely guide recommended can’t remember the name (the Moustache man) The kleftiko and Calamari we chose was delicious with proper homemade chips really good portions The shipwreck and our last stop made for some good photos We felt that this tour is well balanced, timings are good at each stop and good information given along the way Highly recommend doing this tour

I have to say Kate our guide was amazing. We took a trip to the blue lagoon which stopped at Aphrodites Bath and the ship wreck with a stop at a stunning local restaurant for lunch. So friendly and welcoming but also very professional with not letting people being late ruin it for others which we think is very important. When we are back we will definitely use this company again. With everything happening in world Cyprus is fully open and a safe place to be.

Anna our tour guide was professional, helpful and attentive making sure we had a fantastic day out at Akamis and Blue Lagoon. The boat trip was magical, the lunch unforgettable and the bus driver legendary! Cyprus is open for business, don’t listen to the fear mongers. This was a wonderful trip and we learned so much about the history, culture and cuisine. Who knew a banana is a herb?! Thanks Anna for a fantastic day and your positivity was magnetic!

Well organised and our guide was friendly and informative. The drive to Latchi over up through the mountain pass was interesting, with great views. The boat trip was comfortable if a bit breezy (to be expected) we went past Aphrodite's rock and then anchored in a sheltered bay to swim. The water was a beautiful turquoise and freezing at first but once I acclimatised it was refreshing and such fun. We were given plenty of time to swim before heading back. Wine, juice and oranges were served on the return journey. We then visited Aphrodite's baths. It is a pleasant walk along an uphill path with verdant trees and shrubs all around. Once you have arrived, there isn't a lot to see - a small waterfall into a dark pool, but the mythology makes it worth the visit, along with the views across the coast. Next stop was lunch in Polis, and it was very welcome after all our swimming. I decided not to go to the one our lovely guide recommended and chose Finikas Restaurant opposite. The kleftiko was delicious and way too much for me, but I did manage to squeeze in baklava and coffee which was divine :) Set me up for the shipwreck and our last stop. This is fun to see. This tour is well balanced, timings are great, just enough time at each one and informative. Highly recommended.
