    About This Location

    Cape Greco, also known as Cavo Greco, is one of Cyprus’s most iconic natural landmarks and a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Located between Ayia Napa and Protaras, this national forest park offers dramatic limestone cliffs, unique rock formations, sea caves, and panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The area is not only a paradise for photographers but also a hotspot for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, diving, and cliff-jumping.

Walking through the trails, visitors can discover rare flora, wild herbs, and migratory birds, making it as much about biodiversity as it is about breathtaking scenery.
