Cape Greco, National Forest Park in southeastern Cyprus

The peninsula extends into the Mediterranean Sea with limestone cliffs, natural caves, and clear waters reaching depths of 50 meters along the coastline.

Ancient Greeks named this location Cape Pedalion, where a trapezoidal hill served as a sacred site dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite.

The park serves as a vital migration route for numerous bird species, including red-footed falcons, pallid harriers, and honey buzzards throughout the year.

Nine marked nature trails spanning 16 kilometers wind through the park, connecting multiple points of interest from the Agioi Anargyroi church to the lighthouse.

The former Radio Monte Carlo broadcasting station operated at Cape Greco from 1973 to 2019, transmitting programs across the Middle East and Northern Africa.
