We stayed in Polis for the morning and left after a last lunch at one of the restaurants in town. We were sorry to leave Polis, it's a lovely little place, so relaxed and quiet, we got very comfortable there! We headed off down to Paphos and looked around the Fort & the ruins of Old Paphos before watching a stunning sunset over the sea, having dinner in the harbour and heading back to the airport to fly home...

... quite close to it further along. Spent the day here chilling on the beach in the sun & swimming in the Med - what more do you need?! There's a lovely harbour in Latsis with a mix of fishing & pleasure boats. We walked around it in the morning and returned for sunset. There are a number of restaurants along the harbour front with lots of fresh fish options, it's a really nice place to have dinner.

Thursday, July 2, 2009—Paphos
This morning we headed over to the Kato
Pafos Archaeological Park and checked out the local ruins. After
about forty minutes we were too hot and headed back to the car. We
proceeded to drive north to the Baths of Aphrodite and from there we
deduced that there would be some beautiful coast line in that area
and the quickest way would be to follow the inland roads that cut ...

... pointed out, the
computer would not have let us check our bags had we not been able
to. This is a valid point and one I will try to remember for future
episodes.

With the bags checked, next was
security. Once we got through security I checked the screen and it
informed me I had to proceed to the gate. In my head this translates
to: You must move as quickly as you can to the gate, the plane is
taking off and you will need ...

... Maldives, Seychelles, Sri Lanka) the Caribbean Islands ( Antigua, Grenada, Nevis, St Kitts, St Lucia and Tobago In July 2008 I visited the island of Cyprus. The island is mountainous and dry, typically Mediterranean, the coastline can be attractive but not all. Some of the coastal towns such as Larnaca and Limassol are quite industrial whereas areas in the west of the island are less so. My favourite part of the island is around the town of Paphos which has been developed ...

... the town has been kept quite far back from the beach so it's not all hemmed-in with high-rise hotels. It's a nice beach & we settled down on some sun loungers for the day. We had lunch at the beach bar which was pretty awful food (burgers, pizzas - nothing Greek!) and swam in the beautiful sea. It wasn't too crowded but I imagine it gets absolutely heaving in-season, it is a very nice beach.

... number & we felt happy to drift around the buildings which, although very old, have been 'restored' to within an inch of their lives. It's all pristine & beautifully maintained. Despite being a real tourist spot it is still a working monestary & you do see the monks walking around. The church is spectacular filled with icons, gold & silver and heavy with the smoke of incense. After ...

... it's pretty long. We walked a smaller circular route that took about 3 hours, it was gorgeous. It was very hot & we were glad to have taken plenty of our own water because there are no facilities except at the entrance. We stopped for a late lunch at a beachside restaurant in a little village called Latsis on the way back to Polis.

... of my childhood when with my parents and especially my dad who used to LOVE TRAVELING like me, would bring us to this village and even spend one or two nights at a certain restaurant for lunch or dinner.. The restaurant owner had one or two rooms to let, and my dad arranged each time we were up here, to spend the night in one, just to be next to the river and hear the ...
