- Germasogeia Dam: The village is close to Germasogeia Dam, which is a picturesque spot for relaxation and picnics. The dam offers serene views of the surrounding hills and is a popular spot for birdwatching. The dam offers great opportunities for various sports, such as canoe, kayak and fishing.
- Agios Georgios Church: This is the main church in Akrounta, typical of many Cypriot villagers. It often serves as a focal point for community events and celebrations.
- Agios Loucas Chapel: The Department of Antiquities estimates that the church dates back to the 15th century AD. In July 1993, illegal quarrying caused significant damage to the monument. In 2005, an association of expatriates, in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities, undertook excavation, conservation, and restoration efforts to preserve and showcase the ancient monument. Today, a charming chapel stands nearby, overlooking the dam.
- Archery club: Nestled in the serene surroundings of Akrounta village, there is an archery club that offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for archery enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.
