10,139-acre Ζύγι - Ακρωτήριο Κίτι. East Cyprus coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Cyprus hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Cyprus WFD named coastal assessment water in Southern Cyprus Coast. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 158 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Ζύγι - Ακρωτήριο Κίτι - East draws 10,139 acres inside 21.5 miles of shoreline. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 12% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 8.7 mi, about 2.7 mi across. The nearest mapped water is Λιμάνι Βασιλικού, 15 mi to the southwest.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 30 ft, wintering in 10 to 55 ft. Fall european seabass concentrate at Shoreline point, a good-rated point around 35 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (35 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |

Cyprus Ports Authority official ports-information review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Cyprus waters are set by the Cyprus Department of Fisheries and Marine Research (2026 recreational licence terms) — and special regulations can apply to Ζύγι - Ακρωτήριο Κίτι - East specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check the Cyprus Department of Fisheries and Marine Research's live 2026 licence terms and later amendments before every trip. Licence category, Cy-FIS reporting, catch and weight limits, minimum sizes, protected species, albacore and tuna controls, permitted gear, night activity and swimming-area restrictions vary by method. Named marine protected areas and artificial-reef zones carry permanent or seasonal restrictions on fishing, passage, anchoring or public access. Port directions and land ownership also apply. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port listing never grants fishing, retention, entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Ζύγι - Ακρωτήριο Κίτι - East is about 158 ft (48 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Cyprus national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, common sole roster for Ζύγι - Ακρωτήριο Κίτι - East. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 71 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
