The bay sunk: a reward for persistent

The bay sunk: a reward for persistent

There are places in Cyprus whose beauty is hidden. They do not meet you by the road with parking and sunbeds. The magic bay sunk is one of these places. The path to him is not easy, but the reward at the end surpasses all expectations. Ready for a little feat for the ideal beach?

The bay (Zapallo Bay) is hidden from prying eyes behind white cliffs. It is located very close to one of the main ancient shrines of the island - the sanctuary of the Apollo of Gulatsky (ιερό του απόλλωνα υλάτη). But unlike his famous neighbor, the bay does not reveal his arms to everyone. To get to its shore, you need to make efforts. And this is what makes him so special.

 Test trail

The road to the beach is a steep descent along the path, which begins near the sanctuary of Apollo. Он занимает около 20-30 минут. Going down is quite easy. Но нужно помнить, что обратно придется подниматься. Летом, под палящим солнцем, это может стать серьезным испытанием. Обязательно наденьте удобную закрытую обувь. Возьмите с собой побольше питьевой воды. И не забудьте головной убор – на тропе почти нет тени.

 Paradise Bay as a reward

All the difficulties of the path are forgotten instantly. You see in front of you a secluded bay of incredible beauty. Crystroly clean, turquoise water. Majestic white cliffs surrounding the bay. There are almost never waves here. This is an ideal place for swimming and snorking. The silence and peace of this place is the main luxury. You will feel like a pioneer on a secret island.

An important warning: the path becomes a test not only in the heat, but also during the rain - it can be blurred. It is better to choose an ordinary sunny and not very hot day for a walk. The bay sunk is a place of power for those who appreciate solitude. This is a small adventure that you create for yourself.
