Akrotiri Lighthouse (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Akrotiri Lighthouse?
What makes it 31% Baby-Friendly: Babies are permitted, yet rough paths block strollers, zero shade or changing tables complicate care, and long exposure to wind and heat can distress infants, so the stop suits only well-prepared parents.
Positives:

- Easy Parking: Free parking near the lighthouse means no extra fees.
- Nearby Amenities: Akrotiri village 5 km away has restrooms and markets.
Challenges:
- No On-Site Facilities: No toilets, changing tables, or nursing rooms at the lighthouse.
