Natura Beach Hotel Polis

... in a minimalist style, rather 1950's, mostly in black and white, not to my taste. The hotel has excellent facilities for children with a baby's crèche and children's club. Further round the bay is the ever popular Alexander the ...

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>

... It wouldn't turn over. The lights wouldn't go on.<br> I deduced the battery must be dead. I called the car company and<br>they sent someone over. Sure enough the battery was dead. They<br>replaced the car with the one the repair man and driven over. It was<br>a better model and a better car overall. <br><br>That evening we went to a restaurant by<br>the sea and had the fish mezze which was a collection of local dips<br>and seafood. It was excellent.<br>

... 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 ...

... Kykos we drove on a bit to a little village called Pedolas which has an incredibly old Byzantine church. It also has a musum stuffed full of icons from various local churches. The museum and church are owned and run by people who live in the village and we met a couple of real characters! We drove back to Polis &amp; were back in time for dinner at one of the restaurants in the town. Lovely day!

... all roadsigns in English. It was dark so we didn't see much as we headed directly north out of Pahos towards Polis. It took about 1hr 30mins to get to Polis, and another 20 mins to locate the Mariela Apartments! Very friendly owner, he'd stayed up late to let us in. Very basic self-catering studio with a kettle, fridge, hot-plate and microwave.

... 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 ...
