Description

Explore tiny yet beautiful Cape Greco park on foot. Do an easy walk of upto 10 km past lovely attractions. Enrich the experience with swimming & possibly with turtle spotting in the hot season.
The trip provides travellers with the opportunity to explore the beautiful, tiny (4 sq. kilometers) Cape Greco park on foot, and possibly by swimming or snorkeling.

The customisable circular coastal walk starts and finishes at beautiful Konnos beach at the northern tip of Cape Greco park. The standard route is 10 km long on the rocky coast. Cape Greco park is a small park between the bustling beach resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras. The itinerary goes by major attractions in the area including Agioi Anargyroi chapel (and adjacent cave), Kamara tou Koraka natural bridge, Cape Greco Rock and Cape Greco Sea Caves Cove (known as 'Palathkia' ie Palaces). Cape Greco park is a good destination also for birdwatchers, especially during spring migration. From December until March the park usually goes through its green phase, is becomes full of different wildflowers including daffodils and orchirds.

The waters are usually very calm on the east side. In the hot season sea turtles visit the area to feed. In older times the Mediterranean monk seal was also around - now a few individuals are spotted here sporadically.
