Getting there
South of Limassol on the Akrotiri peninsula, past the old port; the beach road runs for several kilometres.
Parking
Plenty of free parking the length of the beach.
Best time to go
Summer; the shallow water warms early and the flat shore is great for families.

Akrotiri Salt Lake
The island’s largest inland lake, where flamingos gather in their thousands each winter. A flat birding trail and hide skirt the water beneath the Fasouri eucalyptus avenue.
