Baths of Aphrodite

The Baths of Aphrodite are in the Paphos region of Cyprus in the North West of the island. It’s a delightful natural grotto surrounded by rich vegetation and fig trees. It is situated on the Akamas Peninsula, which is part of a nature reserve. This is a great destination for people wanting to explore the outdoors in Cyprus.

Getting there

The nearest town to this spot is Polis, which is only 4km away. From Polis you can get the 622 bus directly to the baths.

If you are travelling from Paphos city, it’s approximately 45km away, so you will be driving for 50-60 mins.


What to do at the Baths of Aphrodite

Legend has it that this was where the Goddess of Aphrodite bathed and met her lover, Adonis. When visiting this spot you will enjoy the natural beauty of the baths themselves, while taking in the tranquillity of the surrounding greenery.

If you’re feeling active, you can continue on the two circular walking trails, the Aphrodite trail and the Adonis trail. They will take you about 3 hours to complete in total and you’ll be in the hot Cyprus sun, so remember to bring some sunblock and water. I really recommend these walks as the surrounding area is very beautiful, and you will see some unforgettable views.
