Holidays to Alaminos serve up a slice of village life. Plus, you’re smack in the middle of Cyprus’ two big L’s – Larnaca and Limassol.
The village secret
Alaminos is home to beach that’s a bit of a local secret – it’s tucked away out of sight, and if you didn’t know it was there, you might just miss it. It’s called Secret Paradise Beach, and it doesn’t take a genius to see how it got its name. It’s a shallow swimming spot which is hugged by a huge cliff at one end and a small marina at the other. It’s joined forces with a restaurant and bar too, so you’ve got all your need for a day at the village’s out-of-sight sweep of sand.
Lush landscapes
Alaminos has been painted green by the farmland and countryside that surrounds it – this place is the growing spot for the likes of tomatoes, gherkins and artichokes. And, elsewhere, acacia and pine trees sprinkle the town with colour. A trip through the heart of the village will take you past traditional houses which come paired up with lush green courtyards, too.
