Cape Greco National Forest Park
The rugged headland between Ayia Napa and Protaras, with sea caves, a natural rock bridge, clifftop trails and some of the clearest water in Cyprus.

Cape Greco is the south-eastern tip of the island and a protected national forest park. Low juniper and wild herbs cover the limestone plateau, which ends in cliffs riddled with caves. Signposted nature trails link the main sights: the sea caves, the Kamara tou Koraka rock arch and the tiny chapel of Agioi Anargyroi above the water.
In spring the headland is covered with wildflowers and becomes a stop for migrating birds. In summer the turquoise inlets draw swimmers and snorkellers.
Good to know
The cliffs have no railings, and the rocks are sharp. Cliff jumping is popular but genuinely risky. Bring water, as shade is scarce.
