Cape Greco, Ayia Napa & Blue Lagoon: Sea Caves, Love Bridge, Swim

Summary

Swim turquoise waters at Blue Lagoon, stroll Love Bridge and explore Cape Greco’s wild sea caves with a guide

You’ll wander limestone arches at Love Bridge, swim in Blue Lagoon’s glass-clear water with snorkel gear provided, and hear local stories as you explore Cape Greco’s wild coastline with a friendly guide. Expect salty air, laughter echoing off sea caves, and small moments of peace you’ll remember long after leaving Cyprus.

What’s the experience like?

“You see that arch? Locals call it the Bridge of Love,” our driver said, pointing out the window as we rolled into Ayia Napa. I’d barely finished my coffee and already the Mediterranean was throwing that wild blue light everywhere. The bridge itself looked delicate but sturdy—couples were posing for photos, laughing, one guy nervously checking his footing before his girlfriend dragged him to the middle. I tried to say “Puente del Amor” in Spanish (I’m not fluent) and got a raised eyebrow from our guide, Li. She grinned anyway.

We made our way down toward Cape Greco next—the wind picked up and you could smell salt and something almost herbal from the pines. The cliffs here are jagged but beautiful in their own rough way. Li told us about the old stories—how locals used to believe spirits lived in the caves below. We stopped to watch some kids daring each other to jump off a rock ledge into the turquoise water. I didn’t try it (maybe next time), but just standing there, hearing their shouts echo off stone and feeling spray on my face… it felt good to be out of my head for a bit.

The highlight for me was floating in the Blue Lagoon. I’d seen photos online but they don’t really prepare you for how clear that water is—like looking through glass at your own feet kicking below. There were fish darting around and someone nearby offered me a snorkel mask (included in the tour). I took it; why not? The sun was hot but not harsh. At some point I just lay back and let myself drift—honestly, I still think about that moment when things get noisy back home.

We finished at Konnos Beach where families were picnicking under striped umbrellas and someone’s radio played an old Greek pop song. Our group sat quietly for a while before heading back—no one really wanted to leave yet. So yeah, if you’re thinking about a day trip from Ayia Napa or Protaras with swimming stops like Blue Lagoon and sea caves thrown in… this one’s worth it.
