Exploring Sennen Cove & Gwynver Beach: White Sands and Turquoise Waters in Cornwall

Published on by Victoria1 Comment

On Saturday, mid-August, we set off from our home in Newquay for a one-hour drive down to Sennen Cove and Gwynver Beach, just past Land’s End.

The day was warm at around 22°C, though very, very windy, so while we were comfortable in summer clothes during the day, we needed cardigans and hoodies by the evening.

These beaches had been on our list for a while. We’d only ever seen Sennen from the Land’s End Coaster bus from St Ives a couple of summers ago, so this time we wanted to properly explore on foot before meeting friends later for dinner.

Agios Georgios Harbour, Pegeia: A Peaceful & Scenic Stop on the Cyprus Coast

Agios Georgios Harbour, Pegeia: A Peaceful & Scenic Stop on the Cyprus Coast

Published on by VictoriaLeave a comment

Agios Georgios Harbour, sometimes also referred to as Pegeia Harbour, is a small but beautiful coastal spot located in the Pegeia (or Peyia) region of Cyprus. While the official Cypriot name is Pegeia, it’s more commonly written as Peyia today — and both names refer to this peaceful and picturesque area along the west coast of the island.

We visited Agios Georgios Harbour for a short stop on our way back to Villa Kambos Dio after a refreshing walk through the impressive Avakas Gorge Nature Trail. It turned out to be one of the most photogenic spots of our entire trip, and although we didn’t stay long, it definitely left a lasting impression.

So we set off on a relaxed day out to enjoy the Latchi harbour, its surrounding beaches and some of the kid-friendly free things to do in Latchi.

Lara Beach, Cyprus: Family Walk and What to Expect Outside Turtle Season

Published on by VictoriaLeave a comment

If you’re exploring the unspoilt beauty of Cyprus and want to enjoy a more natural side of the island, Lara Beach is the perfect spot. Known for its protected turtle nesting grounds, this remote stretch of coastline offers raw, untouched scenery, turquoise seas, and fascinating conservation efforts. We visited Cyprus in April, outside of turtle season, and it was still one of the most memorable walks of our holiday.

Here’s everything we experienced — from the scenic mountain drive to the bottlecap jellyfish, and why visiting Lara Beach with kids is just as magical even when the turtles aren’t nesting.
