Lara Bay is a 'haven' for nature-loving holiday makers

Travel writer Anne Jepson says that holiday makers should forget their loungers and umbrellas and head to this unspoilt land.

In the Telegraph she calls it an "extensive and often near-deserted sandy beach and one of the few remaining havens for loggerhead and green turtles to nest".

Monk seals can also be found in the sea caves around the peninsula, she adds.

Located in the north-west of this island, Lara Bay is said to be for the adventurous who like to escape and close by also lies the picturesque Akamas peninsula.

The peninsula boasts "fantastic walks, the most beautiful and varied coastline and, in spring especially, a breathtaking plethora of flora".

Those staying in a villa in the small resort of Polis can discover the real Cyprus and will find that Lara Bay is just a short distance away.
