Ocean Basket is a popular seafood chain offering a diverse menu of fish, sushi, and more. The restaurant's relaxed atmosphere and friendly service make it a great choice for a seafood feast. With very affordable prices and pretty good quality it's a great place for couples and families. I would particularly recommend Platters (Platter for 1 would be plenty for 2 people), which offers a choice of seafood. Would definitely advise to ask for an extra bowl of creamy garlic source, which is to die for. Rainbow and Caterpillar sushi rolls are delicious and they don't skip on the fish. For healthy choice, my absolute favourites are Seared Tuna or Seared Salmon Salads. Located at Poseidonos Ave., Avanti Village Piazza, Kato Paphos, 8042

Nestled within the breathtaking Akamas Peninsula, Lara Beach is a stunning and secluded stretch of coastline that offers a true taste of the wild beauty of Cyprus. Renowned for its pristine sands, turquoise waters, and unspoiled natural surroundings, this remote beach is a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of more developed tourist areas. Lara Beach is particularly famous for its important role as a nesting site for two endangered species of sea turtles: the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and the green turtle (Chelonia mydas). During the nesting season (between May and September), these magnificent creatures come ashore to lay their eggs in the soft sands of the beach. Visitors are encouraged to observe from a distance and respect the marked nesting areas to help protect these vulnerable species. Owing to its remote location, Lara Beach is not as well-equipped with facilities as some other beaches in Paphos, so it's essential to come prepared with your own food, water, and shade.

Getting around

Navigating Cyprus: Your Quick Travel Guide

I'd recommend hiring a car. It's cost-effective, comfortable (hello, air conditioning!), and gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Can compare prices on Carflexi site. Buses? They're available, but run infrequently—only a couple of times a day between cities and airports, and hourly or every few hours in the city and few routes. Taxis are also an option but can be quite pricey. Feeling active? City centres are great for walking or biking, but remember, Cyprus can get hot during the day, especially in summer! Happy travels!
What to pack

Cyprus Travel: Your Quick Packing Guide

1. Clothes: Pack lightweight, breathable clothes for the warm weather. Don't forget a light jacket for cooler evenings and your swimsuit for those irresistible beaches! 2. Sun Protection: Cyprus sun can be intense, so be sure to pack a hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sun cream. 3. Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes are a must for city exploration and ruins visits. 4. Adapter: Cyprus uses UK-type plug - bring an adapter if you need one. 5. Entertainment: Consider a good book or e-reader for beach lounging days. 6. Driving Licence: If you're renting a car.
