Akamas & Polis

The wild west: protected coast, boat trips from Latchi, very little development.

The catch. Most tracks are unpaved and many rental contracts exclude them.

Why go. The water colour is the real thing, and the boat ride along an undeveloped coast is half the pleasure.

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. Walking is about 6 km each way with little shade.

Local tip. Take an early or late boat from Latchi (about 30–45 minutes). It will be quieter, though never empty.

Access
Boat from Latchi, 4×4 track, or 6 km walk from the Baths of Aphrodite
Status
Protected area (Natura 2000)
