Mariela Studio Polis

... the bay. This hotel is the best in Paphos Bay, right on the beach and with a selection of rooms and suites with sea view. There is a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens and palm trees. Next door the Hotel Almyra is ...

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.

<br>Thursday, July 2, 2009&#8212;Paphos<br>This morning we headed over to the Kato<br>Pafos Archaeological Park and checked out the local ruins. After<br>about forty minutes we were too hot and headed back to the car. We<br>proceeded to drive north to the Baths of Aphrodite and from there we<br>deduced that there would be some beautiful coast line in that area<br>and the quickest way would be to follow the inland roads that cut ...

... to find it. Once we did, I pulled up front<br>and parked. I then went to check in. The hotel looked fine, the<br>Lepota Paphos Garden. It was trying to be a bit resortish with<br>planned activities, theme nights and a nice pool but that didn't<br>really appeal to me. I simply wanted to know I had a bed to sleep<br>in. <br><br>Upon returning to the car to move it to<br>the parking area I couldn't start it. The key was in, the car was in<br>park and ...

... 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; beautifully maintained. Despite being a real tourist spot it is still a working monestary &amp; you do see the monks walking around. The church is spectacular filled with icons, gold &amp; silver and heavy with the smoke of incense. After ...

We landed in Paphos at about 8pm and went straight to pick up the hire car. Discovered that in Cyprus you have to pay for a full tank of fuel in addition to the hire charge - something certainly not made clear by Europcar at time of booking! Anyway, we headed out of the airport - as Brits we found it easy to drive in Cyprus, same side of the road ...

... 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 &#8220;bad rock&#8221;<br><br><br><br>The truth is I wanted so much to visit this beautiful village for years now, because it reminds ...
