Alex's Honest Take

Aphrodite II is one of the most complete day trips available from Ayia Napa. You get more stops than almost any other boat — Blue Lagoon, Konnos Bay, Sea Caves, Cape Greco, Fig Tree Bay and a sea view of Famagusta Ghost Town all in one cruise. Lunch is freshly cooked on board. Snorkelling equipment is included for free. I know Ema personally and these are genuinely good people who run a professional, well-organised operation. Perfect for families — there's even a baby changing table on board — couples and groups who want a full day on the water without any hassle. The turtle spotting at Konnos Bay is a genuine highlight that most tourists don't expect.

About Aphrodite II

The Original
Lazy Day Cruise

Aphrodite II is a triple-deck cruise ship operating from Ayia Napa Harbour — fully insured and certified to current EU Maritime law standards. The cruise covers more of the Cyprus coastline than almost any other boat operating from the harbour, visiting 9 distinct stops in a single 5-hour journey.

The boat is air-conditioned throughout, equipped with free Wi-Fi, free sunbeds, showers, free binoculars and free snorkelling equipment. A freshly cooked roast lunch is served on board — chicken or veggie/vegan burger option. The menu is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, nut allergies and halal dietary requirements. No need to pre-order — the crew takes your choice when you board. The bar serves drinks, snacks and ice cream throughout the day.

I know Ema and the team personally. They have been running this operation for years and their attention to detail — from the food to the safety standards to the guiding — is what keeps passengers coming back year after year.

💡 Alex's tip

Board early — between 8:30 and 9:00 — to get the best sunbed positions on deck. Each swim stop is 50 minutes so there's plenty of time to snorkel and explore. The Blue Lagoon is the highlight for most people, but don't underestimate Turtle Cove at Konnos Bay — wild sea turtles are regularly spotted there.
