The Edro III shipwreck, just off the Peyia coast near the Sea Caves, is one of Cyprus’ most striking maritime landmarks. The Sierra Leone–flagged cargo vessel was en route from Limassol to Rhodes in December 2011 when heavy storms struck. Battling rough seas, the 80-meter ship was forced onto the rocks, where it ran aground in shallow waters. Thankfully, all crew members were rescued, but the Edro III was left stranded — its massive hull tilted dramatically against the shoreline. Since then, the wreck has become an atmospheric sight, drawing visitors who marvel at its silhouette, especially at sunrise and sunset when the rusty metal glows against the horizon. Surrounded by turquoise waters and rugged cliffs, the ship feels like part of the landscape, symbolizing both the sea’s power and the fragility of vessels. Today, Edro III is not just a wreck but a photographic icon of Cyprus, blending history, tragedy, and haunting beauty.

The Sea Caves of Peyia, stretching along the rugged coastline near Coral Bay, are one of Cyprus’ most captivating natural wonders. Sculpted by centuries of waves and wind, the caves form dramatic arches, hidden chambers, and cliffs that plunge into turquoise waters. This wild seascape is both mysterious and beautiful, making it a favorite spot for photographers, nature lovers, and adventurers. At sunrise and sunset, the golden light enhances the raw textures of the rocks, creating breathtaking views. The area is also home to marine life, and lucky visitors may spot turtles or seabirds along the cliffs. Easily reached from Coral Bay, the Sea Caves offer a perfect mix of natural drama and tranquility, whether admired from the shore, explored by boat, or captured as a postcard-perfect memory of Cyprus’ untamed coast.

The surrounding area is steeped in archaeology, with ancient tombs and early Christian basilicas nearby, connecting visitors to Cyprus’ rich past. It’s also a popular spot for enjoying fresh seafood in local tavernas while gazing at the sea. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the picturesque views of the rugged coast and crystal-clear waters, makes St. George Harbour a favorite stop for travelers seeking a blend of history, culture, and coastal charm in the Paphos region.

Tucked away in the Akamas Peninsula near Latchi, the Baths of Aphrodite is one of Cyprus’ most enchanting sites, steeped in mythology and natural beauty.

At the end lies the legendary grotto, fed by a natural spring and framed by wild fig trees, said to be the place where the goddess Aphrodite bathed and first met her lover Adonis. According to legend, its waters carry powers of youth and beauty, adding a romantic aura to the site. While bathing is not allowed today, visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, the cool air of the grotto, and its deep connection to Greek mythology.
