Latchi, Polis Area

Polis is served by the picturesque fishing port of Latchi with its coastal paved walk -a pole of attraction all the year round and reputed throughout Cyprus for its fresh fish, -a must for all visitors.
A former sponge-diving centre, this is the last resort on the northern road into the Akmas Peninsula.

Scuba-diving is particularly popular in the area, with several schools teaching the art to beginners around the rocky Akamas coast-line.There are sea-sport facilities and boat- rides up to the Akamas Peninsula Nature Reserve.
 
Explore the baths of Aphrodite where legend has it that Aphrodite bathed with her lover Adonis. They say if you bath in the waters at the baths of Aphrodite you will be blessed with the secret to eternal youth and beauty! (you may also be arrested ...but it might be a price worth paying). Enjoy the unspoiled scenery of the peninsula and the Akamas National Park. A walk along its nature trails accompanied by the panoramic view of the bay of Polis is a unique experience.

With its sandy bays, wildlife and geology, this area is ideal for ramblers, water-sport enthusiasts, or those wishing to relax in a totally tranquil environment. Latchi has a long sand/shingle main beach with other sandy beaches nearby.

In the past Latchi served as a small port for shipping carobs. The old stone carob warehouses have been converted into restaurants, fish taverns and places of recreation. Over the years these have yielded numerous ancient relics here.

The resort has swelled in recent years and now includes bars and banking facilities and just a handful of small shops with more choice in Polis or, for a more cosmopolitan range, try Paphos.

Warm hearted, friendly locals will make your stay memorable.
