Peyia Sea Caves & Coastal Cliffs

Sculpted white limestone bluffs riddled with sea caverns, rock arches, and dramatic sunset views.

A spectacular stretch of wave-hewn coast where emerald Mediterranean swells have carved deep caves, sea arches, and blowholes into white sedimentary cliffs.

On calm summer days, the transparent turquoise inlets draw snorkelers and cliff jumpers. At dusk, the sandstone cliffs glow in warm amber and violet hues against the open western horizon.

Tips before you go

  • The path near Oniro by the Sea offers prime perspectives of the caves and nearby Edro III shipwreck.
  • Exercise caution near cliff edges as there are no safety railings.
  • Plan to arrive an hour before sunset for the best golden-hour lighting.

How to get there

5 km northwest from Coral Bay following coastal signs through banana plantations.
