Cape Greco

Cape Greco, National Forest Park in southeastern Cyprus

Description

Cape Greco is a headland in southeastern Cyprus featuring steep limestone cliffs that plunge into the sea and create numerous marine caves. The water drops to depths exceeding 50 meters (164 feet) in some areas along the coastline.

History

The Greeks in antiquity called this location Cape Pedalion, where a distinctively shaped hilltop served as a sacred site dedicated to Aphrodite. This place held religious importance during the classical era.

Culture

The headland serves as a stopping point for migrating birds moving between continents, where thousands pass through during seasonal journeys.

Practical

The area can be explored on marked walking trails that together cover around 16 kilometers and connect multiple spots throughout the park. Routes pass by a church and a lighthouse and offer varying levels of difficulty.

Did you know?

From 1973 to 2019, a broadcasting station operated transmission equipment here and sent programs to the Middle East and North Africa. The former Radio Monte Carlo facility was a notable feature of the landscape for decades.
