Cape Greco, Cyprus

Cape Greco

Cyprus Β· Famagusta District Β· 60 m

Description

Cape Greco is the headland at the southeastern tip of Cyprus and a national forest park of low juniper scrub, sea cliffs and clear deep water. Footpaths and a cycle route run along the edge past blowholes, the Kamara tou Koraka rock arch and viewpoints that look down through water clear enough to show the seabed. Sea caves cut into the base of the cliffs are the island's most photographed swimming spot, reached by boat or by scrambling down from the road. The tiny whitewashed chapel of Agioi Anargyroi stands alone above the rocks. Nothing is built here beyond the chapel and the paths.
