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...

We stayed local today, but the beach at Polis isn't that great so we scooted down the road to Latsis and the beach there. Latsis (or Latchi) was once a small village by the sea but now it's enveloped in new developments of holiday villas. It's sort of stretched out along the road with a few restaurants and bars n the middle. The beach is nice if you go to the bit behind the restaurants as the main road ...

... 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>

... but the not so<br>deep down parts tell me to freak out. To panic. This is why I often<br>spend hours at airports. It gives me a sense of security, of calm<br>before I fly to sit down at the gate and know I have an hour to kill<br>before boarding. This was not going to be the case today. <br><br>The train took half an hour to Gatwick<br>so we arrived at 8am at the South Terminal. Our flight was departing<br>from the North Terminal. By the time we ...

... 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 ...

Having a car we decided to take ourselves off to spend the day at Coral Beach which, we'd heard, was one of the nicest in Cyprus. It's about half-way between Polis &amp; Paphos and took about 45 minutes to drive to. The town wasn't particularly nice, a bit like Blackpool, and we were glad we had decided to stay in Polis (we had been looking at hotels in Coral Beach but they were quite expensive ...

... stopped at an enclosure accomodating some Mouflons - a sheep-goat animal that is apparently unique to Cyprus. They are very shy but we spotted some after a while. We arrived at Kykos for lunch &amp; had a delicious good-value meal at the cafeteria. This place is set up to process coach-loads of tourists. A benefit of coming off-season, there weren't any! There were quite a few people but not a ...

... it's pretty long. We walked a smaller circular route that took about 3 hours, it was gorgeous. It was very hot &amp; 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 ...
