Sand underfoot at Zygi. A local south-coast swim by the fishing village; check the water after winter storms. Pack shade unless you see services on the day. This is the south coast between Limassol and Larnaca: coves, village bays, and cliff or field roads down to the water. You almost always arrive by car; buses, if any, stop on the main road with a walk down. Paths can be steep, chalky, or stony — wear shoes you can scrape. Summer weekends fill the obvious bays; weekdays and mornings are quieter. There is rarely a ticket gate. Pack shade, water, and shoes, and confirm tavernas or toilets only when you see them. Check the sea before you swim: some coves drop away quickly. Take rubbish back up to the road.
