Latchi

Latchi

"A tranquil village, with an idyllic harbour and tons of amazing natural sites, within touching distance of it." Latchi is a small village that is most famous for its idyllic little fishing harbour and its fresh seafood. It is located in a more secluded part of Cyprus that is especially famous for its beautiful natural scenery. Visitors to Latchi can explore the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea, from the harbour, going on glass bottom boat tours or diving in the Laguna Blu, a sparkling blue lagoon famous for its crystal-clear waters, for an unforgettable beach holiday. The harbour also provides fresh fish, and several boat-hire companies operate in the area, allowing visitors to explore the sea by themselves. Latchi is also connected to some of Cyprus' most famous natural sites, including the Akamas Peninsula, which is home to a large number of different species of bird and is renowned for its beautiful views and idyllic sites.

The thing that sets Latchi apart is its tranquillity; removed from some of the larger resorts in Cyprus, such as Protaras, Ayia Napa or Limassol, it has a less touristy feel, making it family friendly. The ideal place for a quiet and relaxing or family holiday with plenty of nature at your fingertips.
