A nearly inaccessible, yet magical beach of Limassol is situated in the area beneath the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates, at the Bay of Episkopi. This is why it is known as the Apollo beach, though for many it is also known as the Gulf of Tripiti or Zapalo Bay.
The beach is not visible from the main road, as it is nestled beneath the edge of a high cliff. The sharp rocks, filled with falcon nests, are one of the elements that make up the unique, wild charm of the setting at Zapalo beach.
Reaching the beach may be a challenge, due to the uneven ground. One can access it by climbing down the dirt road on foot, or with a kayak or a boat from the nearby Kourion beach.
The bay was named 'Zapalo' after the mining company, which once used this area to extract gravel from the rocks and sell it for construction purposes.
The magnificent view (especially at sunset), the lonely pier for fishing boats and the crystal clear waters make this beach unique, whether you enjoy it from above or up close.
