Juniperus phoenicea, commonly known as Phoenician juniper or Arâr, is a species of juniper native to the Mediterranean region. This evergreen shrub or small tree is well adapted to arid and semi-arid climates and often grows on rocky or sandy soils. It typically reaches a height of 2–8 meters, but can sometimes grow up to 12 meters. The leaves of Juniperus phoenicea are scale-like and arranged in opposite pairs. The plant produces small, berry-like cones that are reddish-brown when mature and take about 18 months to ripen. These cones are an important food source for various bird species. Juniperus phoenicea is known for its resilience in difficult environmental conditions and is often used in landscaping and reforestation projects in drought-prone areas. In addition, the wood and resin of this plant have historically been used for medicinal and aromatic purposes. This tree is truly romantic. In any case, it serves as a perfect protection from the sun

Beach party every afternoon from May with DJ and foam party. Nice, lively people from 7 to 77 years old. Good club sounds.

Unfortunately, the hiking trail directly along the coast is not paved all the way. On the beaches you have to walk through the sand and in some places the quarry stone path is also crumbly. It's completely fine for hikers but not recommended for wheelchair users or those with strollers or similar. You can discover beautiful views of the turquoise sea, beaches, beach clubs and even simple picnic camps set up by the locals.

The Ayia Thekla Chapel is rather unspectacular but the cave right next to it is very interesting.

There are many sculptures worth seeing in this park, which is connected to a cactus park over a small bridge. Over 140 artists have immortalized themselves here with their artistically valuable objects. No entry fee and also free toilets.

Juniper with bench to relax. The landscape in the area is simply fantastic. It's only a few minutes from there to the Sea Caves and there is a bus stop nearby.
