Lara
In the more remote Akamas Peninsula a 4×4 will take you to the beaches at Lara. You’ll find long sandy beaches sloping gently into the warm sea – and you’ll probably have the beaches to enjoy all on your own. Arguably the best beach on the island here.
Latsi (Latchi)

Hire a boat and go out to the blue lagoon where the water is an aqua colour and so clear you can still see the bottom over 100m out from the coastline.
