Edro III Shipwreck (Peyia Sea Caves)

Cargo ship stranded on sea caves rocks since 2011, iconic sunset photography spot, and Oniro by the Sea lounge.

An 80-meter freighter that ran aground during stormy seas in December 2011. It lies permanently tilted just meters from the limestone cliff edge.

Directly above the wreck sits the acclaimed Oniro by the Sea bar, making this one of the most romantic evening settings in western Cyprus.

Tips before you go

  • Boarding the rusty wreck is strictly forbidden and dangerous.
  • Reserve ahead at Oniro by the Sea for sunset cocktails and dinner.
  • Explore the eroded sea cave arches just south of the ship.

How to get there

5 minutes north of Coral Bay toward Sea Caves road in Peyia. Paved road to parking.
