Argaka

Argaka (Greek: Αργάκα) is a village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 7 km northeast of Polis Chrysochous.

From a geological perspective, it is located upon the calcareous sandstones, the sands, and the marls of the Pleistocene period as well as the lavas and the magma rocks (northeast of the settlement).

From a morphological aspect, what stand out are the coastal, alluvial plain, one or two marine terraces, and a slope that steadily ascends up to 500 metres.

[2] There are many nesting areas throughout Argaka where protected endangered Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) and Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) visit.

Some members of the village help to carry out beach clean ups and contribute to turtle conservation in the area.
