Κατά τη διάρκεια της '''21ης Ιουλίου 1974''' δεν σημειώθηκαν συγκρούσεις στο προγεφύρωμα και κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας, το δεύτερο κύμα των τουρκικών δυνάμεων έφθασε από το λιμάνι της Μερσίν.
Μετά την αποστολή του αποβατικού πλοίου Following the dispatch of the [[landing ship]] HS Lesvos (L-176) to [[Paphos]] by the [[Hellenic Navy]], the Turkish Air Force received reports of a Greek task force of ships off the coast of Paphos and assembled a force of around 28 strike aircraft from two squadrons to attack the force with {{convert|750|lb|abbr=on}} bombs and guns. This however, was a signals deception performed by the Greek Cypriot Naval Command, which transmitted false radio signals indicating that three Turkish [[destroyer]]s looking for ''Lesvos'' off Paphos, were in fact Greek ships. They were actually the Turkish Navy destroyers [[TCG Kocatepe (D-354)|''Kotacepe'' (D-354)]], [[TCG Adatepe (D-353)|''Adatepe'' (D-353)]], and [[TCG Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak (D-349)|''Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak'' (D-349)]] . All three vessels were struck by friendly fire. ''Kocatepe'' sustained a fatal hit and sank with the loss of 54 crew members.<ref>"Cyprus, 1974", by T. Cooper and N.

Having intercepted intelligence that the Greek Cypriot Commander of the Navy, [[Commander]] Papayiannis, was heading to Karavas to assess the size and dimensions of the Turkish landing force, a team of 12 Turkish parachutists were dropped on the Mirtou-Asomatou road in order to ambush his convoy. The Turkish troops managed to wound Papayiannis before they were wiped out by his personal guard force, forcing the Greek Cypriot plan to be abandoned.
