Seitan Limania is a public beach located in the Akrotiri region. This secluded beach is nestled in a cove surrounded by rock formations, offering a picturesque setting for swimming. Access to the beach can be a little tricky, with a steep descent along the rocks, but it's well worth the effort to enjoy this unique spot. The beach is quite small and can quickly become crowded, so it's advisable to arrive early to find a spot. Visitors can also enjoy panoramic views from the top of the cove. It's important to note that goats may be present on the beach and may rummage through visitors' belongings in search of food. It is therefore advisable to keep bags closed to avoid any intrusion.
