You can reach Fontana Amorosa either by boat or by 4WD, buggy, or for the daring, by hiking. We recommend the boat trip or the buggy. It will be an adventure! The roads are dangerous so be careful.
This beach is better to visit by boat. You can rent from Polis/Latchi Harbour. It is an amazing place. A must go for everyone ! An experience to remember.
The Spring of love or the Fountain of Love is located in westerner utmost part of Cyprus, in the Akamas Peninsula , near Cape Arnaoutis. It is a creek with a small spring, which supplied many legends and traditions about lovers and the love. Legend has it that the Goddess Aphrodite used to bring her young lovers here away from people. Another legend says that those who drink from there will fall in love again. This spot was visited by numerous Italian poets during their explorations in search of Aphrodite's hideouts, including Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533), who in his famous poem Orlando furioso writes vividly about Fontana Amorosa.
