... or sunsets you choose which you want at check in. To me the Thalassa Boutique Hotel is the best on the island. At the western end of the island the splendid Anassa Hotel in Latchi a true five star resort. The only hotel left to ...
Paphos, Cyprus paulatluxuryWe 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...
Paphos, Cyprus anneowens... 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.
Polis, Cyprus anneowens... across the mountains. And this began Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Now, if<br>you have read previous entries I'm new to driving on the left. And<br>I'm was new driving around mountains...and on gravel....dirt<br>roads.....and the like. As you will see from the pictures the views<br>were stunning but the journey to cover a mere 20 kilometres took us<br>close to two hours. It was exciting in the end and the views were<br>spectacular.<br>
Paphos, Cyprus lantian1979... thought it was strange that no matter how much<br>I pressed on the gas, the car seemed to have no pick-up. It just<br>chugged along slowly. It was after about three minutes I looked down<br>and realised the parking brake was on. Having grown up in the<br>midwest where hills are not common and therefore using a parking<br>brake is also not common, this is not entirely ridiculous. <br><br>We had the directions for the hotel but<br>it took us a little ...
Paphos, Cyprus lantian1979... plenty of character, the only thing I would say against it is that it's a bit too British. To the North West of Paphos is the beautiful Coral Bay and to the five star Coral Beach Hotel LINK which is located in the middle of the bay and on the sandy beach. The beach at Coral Bay is one of the best in eastern Cyprus. The stunning Thalassa Boutique Hotel LINK is on a peninsula at on end of Coral Bay with sea on three sides. The very stylish suites have views of the sunrise or ...
paphos, Cyprus paulatluxury... 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.
Polis, Cyprus anneowensWe set off quite early to drive up to the Kykos Monestary, one of the more famous monestaries high up in the mountains where Archbishop Makarios retired to and is buried (he was the first and fourth president of Cyprus). We took our time driving up, the roads are good but very twisting, and there are some magnificent views that should be stopped at to take in properly. On the way up the mountains we ...
Polis, Cyprus anneowens... 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.
Polis, Cyprus anneowens... the night there, and drive all the way to our residence early the following morning.<br><br>Unbelievable what we could see. The fire had reached the last bushes down the sea.<br><br>And this trip ends here unexpectedly.<br><br>We spent 4 months working on the house, cleaning and having it painted again.<br><br>It was a nightmare, but we survived. This incident made us stronger.
