At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Glykou Nerou Street. Continue straight for about 1 kilometer and you will see the Edro III Shipwreck on the coast. There is parking available nearby, but be aware that it may be limited during peak tourist times. Make sure to check for any parking fees.

Public Transportation

From Avakas Gorge, you can take a local bus to Peyia. Look for buses heading toward Peyia or Paphos. The bus ride takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive in Peyia, disembark at the Peyia village stop. From there, you can either walk about 1 kilometer along Glykou Nerou Street or catch a taxi to the Edro III Shipwreck. Be sure to check the bus schedule for return trips, as they can vary throughout the day.

Walking

If you are feeling adventurous and want to experience the scenic beauty of the area, you can walk from Avakas Gorge to the Edro III Shipwreck. This is a longer journey, approximately 4.5 kilometers, and will take around 1 hour. Start at the entrance of Avakas Gorge and follow the trail leading south.
