Lovers Nest Hotel Apts. Polis

... rich history of this Mediterranean island, and is unlike the other traditional hotels. The following day I had a busy schedule of visits to the other hotels in our programme starting with the Annabelle located in central Paphos ...

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.

... across the mountains. And this began Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Now, if
you have read previous entries I'm new to driving on the left. And
I'm was new driving around mountains...and on gravel....dirt
roads.....and the like. As you will see from the pictures the views
were stunning but the journey to cover a mere 20 kilometres took us
close to two hours. It was exciting in the end and the views were
spectacular.

... thought it was strange that no matter how much
I pressed on the gas, the car seemed to have no pick-up. It just
chugged along slowly. It was after about three minutes I looked down
and realised the parking brake was on. Having grown up in the
midwest where hills are not common and therefore using a parking
brake is also not common, this is not entirely ridiculous.

We had the directions for the hotel but
it took us a little ...

... 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.

We 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 ...

... time of year it had a handful of 'mature' guests who go at the same time every year, year after year. The owner is very nice & welcoming & is full of info. There's a pool, a bar, we have a balcony with a view and a fridge for the gin & tonic - what more do we need?! There's a supermarket close by and it takes 5-10mins to walk into the town centre.

... bad rock" There was a custom in the old times that people that were about to get married used to dance around a big rock. However an incident happened, and the rock fell on the groom and killed him, so they named that rock and the village as “bad rock”



The truth is I wanted so much to visit this beautiful village for years now, because it reminds ...
