Discover the essence of tranquillity in Polis Chrysochous — Cyprus's least developed coastline. For a serene escape, head to Akamas National Forest Park. This natural sanctuary offers more than just stunning vistas; it's home to "The Baths of Aphrodite" — a freshwater grotto enveloped by a wild fig tree, said to be a favoured spot of the goddess herself. For a gastronomic treat, look no further than Latchi Harbour. This peaceful locale serves up fresh fish dishes that encapsulate the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. If you're keen on soaking up some local culture, stroll through the town's pedestrian centre. Nature aficionados will relish a visit to Lara Beach, one of the Mediterranean's last havens for green loggerhead turtles, revived through successful conservation efforts. Walk one of the park's numerous nature trails to spot rare local flora like the Cyprus orchid or catch a glimpse of migrating birds.

The Western Wall is the only part remaining of Solomon's Temple, built in the 10th century BC and destroyed twice. Praying here carries a lot of meaning for Jewish believers, who mumble hymns and insert prayers written on small pieces of paper between the bricks — every visitor is allowed to partake. The Temple was said to contain the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical golden chest. Moreover, Jesus reportedly visited the Temple as a child and left an impression on the wise men inside with his knowledge of the Bible. There are separate entrances for men and women leading to different parts of the wall. Friday evenings are particularly crowded, as Jewish people celebrate the arrival of Shabbat, the day of rest. Bar Mitzvah ceremonies take place in the morning on Monday, Thursday and Saturday: it's a great time to visit, as the place comes alive with Jewish song and dance.

This elegant arch, about 18 metres high, was erected at the entrance to the causeway atop the harbour in honour of the Emperor Traian. With its 2,000 years of history, this monument is well worth a visit.
