Tetraena alba and Frankenia are two resilient plants found in the saline and arid regions of Cyprus. Tetraena alba, with its whitish leaves, manages excess salt by shedding its leaves and is used in folk medicine for gastrointestinal and skin issues. Frankenia, named after Swedish botanist Johan Franck, thrives in similar environments and is valued for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, treating digestive and respiratory conditions. Both plants showcase remarkable adaptability and traditional medicinal uses.
Before you lies the most romantic stroll along the Cypriot coast. You will find the most beautiful beach in Cyprus with white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. Next, the Love Bridge awaits you, where you can take stunning photos. Then, marvel at the sea in the sea caves where, according to legend, pirates hid their treasures, and be impressed by the endless sea view from Cape Greco. Additionally, enjoy a walk through the park and the ornithological center, where, if you're lucky, you can see sea turtles at Raven's Arch and descend into the grotto under the Church of the Holy Unmercenaries. To top it off, dine at Isaac's Tavern on the Ayia Napa promenade and enjoy the sunset.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
