Sea Caves of Peyia (Thalassines Spilies Peyias)

The Sea Caves of Peyia are situated 18 km northwest from Paphos in the homonymous province of Cyprus and in the wider area of ​​Peyia, immediately after the outlandish shipwreck EDRO III.

Next to the national park of Akamas extends an almost unreal landscape. The Sea Caves of Peyia constitute a naturally rocky beach and one of the most beautiful getaways from neighboring beaches amid the wild beauty of the island.

The Sea Caves of Peyia are also known as kantarkastoi (white rocks) and "spilios tis Fokainas (cave of the Seal)" because here used to find refuge and reproduced the seals Monachus Monachus. They also constitute one of the most impressive examples of the geomorphology of the island, and proof of the unique beauty of the tourist town. The beach is a complex landscape
of stone arcades, tall cliffs with naturally carved semi-underwater caves for the adventurous climbers, and its crystalline sea is a must for carefree swimming and adventurous scuba diving. Nature here undertook the role of an artist and created sculptures thousands of years old on the rocks, up to 20 meters high, small and bigger caves, as well as scattered rocky islets, which are only accessible by sea or by water bikes available from the modern sports facilities in the area. This unique landscape is also often chosen for the commitment of civil marriages.

The Sea Caves of Peyia is a huge area, so bathers have a wide variety of places to choose to swim or sunbathe on the rocks. The famous caves of Pafos, however, can be accessed either from Kolpos ton Koralion (Coral Bay), or by going down the coastal road from Agios Georgios Peyias (Geronisos) right before the Maniki beach. Finally, other caves – although much smaller, you will find in the east, towards Kolpos ton Koralion, and to the west towards Akamas.
