Guide
The Akamas is the least developed corner of the island, a protected peninsula with no resorts and few roads. The Blue Lagoon is its best-known bay: shallow, sandy-bottomed and startlingly clear.
Most people arrive by boat from the small harbour of Latchi, about 30 to 45 minutes along an empty coast, which is half the pleasure. You can also walk about 6 km each way from the Baths of Aphrodite.
The catch. In July and August several boats anchor at once and midday is the peak. The land route is a rough track: an ordinary car is unsuitable and many rental contracts exclude unpaved roads.
Local tip. Take an early or late boat from Latchi. It will be quieter, though never empty.
