Setting Sail from Latchi Harbour

The anticipation was palpable as I arrived at Latchi Harbour, ready to embark on the Blue Lagoon Cruise. The sun was already casting its golden glow over the water, promising a day of adventure and relaxation. As a marine biologist, the allure of the ocean is irresistible, and this cruise promised a unique blend of sightseeing, swimming, and indulgence.

The crew greeted us with warm smiles, their enthusiasm infectious. I found a cozy spot on the lower deck, the perfect vantage point to soak in the views. The gentle hum of the boat’s engine was a soothing backdrop as we set off, the coastline of Cyprus unfurling like a tapestry of natural beauty. The journey to the Blue Lagoon was a visual feast, with the famed Aphrodite’s Baths offering a glimpse into the island’s mythological past.

The crew, attentive and friendly, ensured everyone felt comfortable and safe, offering life vests and snorkeling gear for those eager to discover the underwater world.

I slipped into the water, the cool embrace of the sea invigorating my senses. Schools of fish darted around, their scales catching the sunlight in a dazzling display. It was a marine biologist’s dream, a chance to observe the vibrant ecosystem up close. The crew’s offer to take photos was a thoughtful touch, allowing us to capture these moments of wonder.

Back on board, a sumptuous buffet awaited, a delightful array of local flavors that complemented the day’s adventures. The open bar was a hit, with the barman crafting cocktails that were as refreshing as the sea breeze.
