Polis & Latchi: Resort Information

Resort Image Less than an hour’s drive from Paphos on the northern coast of the Island lies the unspoilt rural area of Polis tis Chrysochous with its relaxed, agricultural town of Polis and small fishing village of Latchi. Over the years these have yielded numerous ancient relics.  Bordering the Akamus Peninsula Nature Reserve, 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. The pretty fishing harbour at Latchi offers some excellent fish tavernas, and has some good beaches nearby. The Baths of Aphrodite, a legendary beauty spot, are just along the coast from Latchi.  According to myth, Aphrodite would take her beauty bathes in the pool of this natural grotto, which is shaded by a fig tree, and has a continuous run of water from the overhead rocks.
