Description
The Odyssey Boat Safari sets off from Larnaca Marina, heading first to the Zenobia shipwreck, a prime snorkeling and diving spot. Passengers can swim or snorkel while observing divers exploring the wreck.
Next, the boat sails to Cape Pyla, where you can admire caves, red cliffs, and sea eagle habitats. There is time for a swim here, accompanied by complimentary fruits served onboard.
Continuing the journey, the cruise passes a fishing farm breeding Tsipoura (sea bream). Keep watch for dolphins along the route. The boat also tours the beaches of Ayia Napa, known for white sands and turquoise waters.
Further along the coast, the boat visits Cape Greco, including the natural Love Bridge and Pirate Caves. Guests can swim and snorkel in the Blue Lagoon, a favored location for its clear waters.
A buffet lunch is served at 1:00 PM featuring homemade Cypriot dishes and BBQ options. Afterwards, the route moves toward Protaras, approaching Famagusta to view the Ghost City, a Turkish-occupied former town.
The cruise ends at the Golden Coast fishing port around 14:00. Private buses then provide transfer back to original pickup points.
