Attraction
Peyia Sea Caves & Edro III Wreck
Short answer
North of Coral Bay, the coast breaks into low limestone cliffs with sea caves, natural arches and clear water. The rusting Edro III cargo ship, which ran aground here in 2011, has turned the spot into a popular sunset stop. It is free and unfenced; treat the cliff edges with respect.
