The picturesque and beautiful (free) parking area above the stunning Drifano Gulf offers a fantastic view. This spot is one of the oldest ports in Cyprus, with a history dating back to ancient times when ships laden with wheat from Egypt would stop here en route to ancient Greece. The view is mesmerizing, perfect for countless photos. Below, several paths lead to a network of branched caves beneath the parking lot. These caves are ancient burial sites similar to those in the region.
We began our journey at the Energy Islands Resort Hotel and headed west along the coast, passing through villages near the famous Akamas Peninsula. The village of Kathikas is known for its special grape variety, while the village of St. George is a peaceful haven. We continued along the scenic west coast, eventually reaching the airport.
