Pyrgos tis Rigainas (Queen's Tower)
ruins of a Byzantine monastery on the Akamas peninsula
Why go
These are the remains of a monastery near Polis, also called the Queen's Tower. An oak about 500 years old stands close by. The Aphrodite and Adonis trails meet at the ruins, and the walk offers views of Cape Arnaoutis, Polis and the Pafos Forest.
Good for: hikers on the Akamas trails
⚠️ Safety
Look at the ruins from outside and do not climb into the walls. The trails to the tower are rated hard, so carry your own drinking water: the fountains on them give non-potable water. Watch the ground, vipers can be on the path.
