Adonis Baths waterfalls

25 minutes inland, a waterfall drops into a cold natural pool in a wooded valley.

The Adonis Baths are in a wooded valley inland from the coast, with a waterfall and a natural pool surrounded by rock ledges and trees.

This is a private site with an admission charge. Statues and signs tell the story of Adonis and Aphrodite, and the pool is open for swimming. The water is cold, even in summer.
