Sightseeing
If you are staying in Xylofagou, you have to go to the Red Cliffs which are located on the seashore. It is an amazing place with great views of the local cliffs, the sea and the bay of Larnaca.

It is also a great place to explore the local shores from a boat or snorkeling. Divers love this place to visit the underwater life and the caves.

The underwater museum is a great idea, and if you combine it with Pernera Beach, you have a whole day of relaxation. The best time to visit the museum is before noon when the sea is calm and the sun gives plenty of light for the underwater views. The Musan museum is the ideal place for practicing free diving and snorkeling. Fully equipped diving is also exciting. Fishing is not allowed in the area, so you can find many fish there.
