  • The peninsula’s salt lake is a refuge in winter for bright pink flamingoes and other migrant birds.

  • This green oasis, with an aviary and flock of peacocks, makes a pleasant change from busy Limassol.

  • Aphrodite Waterpark

    This visitor attraction has dozens of different thrills, spills, chutes and pools (see Aphrodite Waterpark, Pafos).

  • Hidden away in a tiny valley is the goddess’s mythical bathing pool. Around the spring is a network of walking trails.

  • Chryssorogiatissa Monastery

    This monastery produces some of the island’s best wines. Within is a museum of religious paraphernalia.

  • Primitive round-houses have been excavated by archaeologists on the site of a chalkolithic settlement.

  • Maa is believed to be the first Greek-Mycenaean settlement in Cyprus. At the small museum weapons, amulets and jewellery are on display.

  • The former monastery was left to crumble after the Venetians were driven from Cyprus by the Ottomans, but it underwent restoration in 1997.

  • A combination of farming village and low-key resort, Polis has an uncrowded beach and a small seaport, Latsi, with fish tavernas.

  • Vouni is a half-deserted spot whose old-fashioned houses have earned it conservation-area status. The sanctuary at Stena, just outside the village, gives a retirement home to more than 100 donkeys.
