Visiting Konnos Bay
Konnos Bay is a horseshoe of fine pale sand and clear turquoise water tucked into the cliffs of Cape Greco, widely rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the Famagusta region.
Getting there
Down a steep access road off the Cape Greco/Protaras road; signed to Konnos Beach.
Parking
Parking at the top, with a road/walk down to the sand.
Best time to go
Morning, before the day-boats and crowds arrive and while the bay is calmest.
