Cave Dwellers Mini Jeep Safari

Valid 01 June – 31 October 2024

Daily including weekends from Ayia Napa and Protaras only

Morning or Afternoon tours daily during peak summer months.  On Sundays only morning tour.

An in-depth off-road adventure to the most Eastern point of the east coast National Park visiting the most famous landmarks of Ayia Napa & Protaras.

Although this is only a 1/2-day tour it is not short of thrills and action. We begin the tour with our first stop at the natural bridge in Ayia Napa that is famously known as the “Lovers Bridge”. Its location although not hidden many find hard to find. Here you will have a chance to walk across the bridge and if lucky, may see the family of seals leaving in a nearby cave.

We take the off-road to reach the famous Sea Caves (Palatia or Palace of Caves). A very popular destination for the brave at heart that wish to take a dive into the depths of the Sea Cave crystal clear waters.  This is supposedly the home of the Ayia Napa Sea Monster.  Most sightings occur around Cape Greco. It is known by the local fishermen as “To Filiko Teras”, which translates as “The Friendly Monster”. There have been no reports of it causing any harm, although it has been reported at times to rip and drag away fishing nets. There have been countless sightings of the “Creature from the Depths”, with some local newspapers calling the mystery the “Cyprus Loch Ness”.

Our journey continues to the top of Cape Greko. A 10-minute trek to the top of this crest (the most Eastern Point of Europe) revealing a 360° of spectacular views of the Mediterranean seas as far as the eyes can see.

A quick photo stop at the natural bridge of Koraka, then off to the hidden cave which was originally used as a church by the locals but now is the diver’s paradise. On top of the cave, basking in the sun the blue and white chapel of Agioi Anargoiroi that replaced the cave below it, popular in the summer months for dreamlike weddings.

We then arrive at the beautiful Konnos Bay where you will be given free time for swimming, water sports (optional extra) or just simply sit back at the beautifully located café and take it all in with a cold drink or beer!

We then continue our adventure to the Mythical cave of Cyclopes and finish off at the very unique little church of Ayioi Saranta. So secluded even the locals find it hard to locate.  Totally off the beaten track, with a raw appeal so very magnificent that it has been located by a number of curious intrepid travellers and recently featured in the ‘Travel News’ section of the UK’s MailOnline as one of the quirkiest churches to visit in the world. There is no official reference of when this church was first built, and as for the name of the church, it is believed that the word ‘Saranta’ which means ‘40’ in Greek is derived from forty stalagmites on the ceiling of the cave, linked to the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste.

A memorable, off road adventure for the whole family that will leave you with memories you’ll brag about and cherish forever.

Program may alter slightly during the winter months between November till March.
