The coastlines of Cyprus are home to one of nature’s most incredible creatures—the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas). Every year, these majestic animals return to Lara Beach and other protected areas to lay their eggs, continuing a cycle of life that has lasted for millions of years.
Where to Spot Sea Turtles
One of the best places to encounter these turtles is during our Turtle Watching Tours, where you can snorkel in clear waters and observe them in their natural habitat. While turtle sightings aren’t guaranteed, our experienced guides know the best spots to maximize your chances.
How Paphos Protects Turtles
Lara Beach, located in the Akamas Peninsula, is a designated nature reserve. The local authorities and conservation groups have worked tirelessly to protect turtle nests and educate visitors on the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems.
When you join one of our turtle-watching experiences, you’re not just having a memorable adventure—you’re contributing to turtle conservation by supporting eco-friendly tourism.
