The Akamas Peninsula is a popular eco-tourism destination. Akamas is famous for its quiet bays, rocks, cliffs, forests with the rarest representatives of flora and fauna.

Baths of Aphrodite is a place filled with love and peace, an incredibly attractive corner of nature. This is where that the tragic and beautiful love story of Aphrodite and Adonis began. Legend has it that after bathing in the waters of the bay, the mythological goddess Aphrodite climbed the hill to bathe in a pool fed by a freshwater mountain spring. Water was dripping into the pool down the slope of a shady grotto, over which a fig tree was hanging. This place became known as the Baths of Aphrodite. It was where Adonis saw and fell in love with her while hunting in the Akamas forest.

The bay of Fountain Amorosa is also one of the attractions of Akamas and the Paphos region as a whole. The Italian poet Ariosto wrote a poem about the area and its waters.

The ruins of an old monastery in the meadow in the heart of Akamas with a giant oak tree and a bubbling spring are known as Pyrgos tis Rigainas, or the Queen's castle, are associated with this love story.
