This tour, offered by Aeria Travel & Tours, takes you from your hotel in Paphos to the picturesque Latchi harbor for a peaceful boat cruise to the famous Blue Lagoon. For around five hours, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear waters, panoramic views of the Akamas Peninsula, and some casual swimming—plus a bit of local hospitality with fruits, juice, and wine.
What we love most about this experience is the fantastic scenery along the way, especially the sights of traditional villages and rugged coastlines from the sea. The boat ride itself is a highlight, giving you a different perspective on the coastline and a chance to relax in unspoiled surroundings. The second perk is the complimentary refreshments—fruit, juice, and local wine—adding a friendly, informal touch to the trip.
A consideration to keep in mind is that the tour’s duration is around 5 hours, so it’s best suited for those who enjoy a relaxed pace without feeling rushed. Since it involves swimming and some water-based activities, travelers should be comfortable in the water and prepared with essentials like swimwear, towels, and sun protection. This trip is most ideal for those seeking a scenic, laid-back day with natural beauty and gentle adventure, rather than a full-day, high-energy excursion.
If you enjoy unspoiled coastal scenery, casual boat rides, and small-group experiences, this tour could suit you well. It’s especially appealing for travelers staying in Paphos who want to experience the iconic Blue Lagoon without a full-day commitment or complex itinerary.
