The Bridge of Love, also known as the Lovers’ Bridge, is a natural arch in the south of Cyprus. This rock formation, carved out by the sea, lies along the coast near Ayia Napa (Agia Napa).

The bridge is clearly marked on Google Maps. Parking is available nearby, either along the road or in designated parking areas. During my visit, I was able to park right along the road, just a short walk from the bridge.
