Renos Apartments Polis

... 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 which is located in the middle of the bay and ...

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 ...

... 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 LINK located in central Paphos overlooking 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 LINK is designed in a ...

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 ...

... was a rock pool, and not a very big one at that), the Tombs of Kings (quite a bit more of this) and the fort in Paphos harbour. I thought that the fort was great, but would you believe that the guide book criticised it for smelling musty. And how pray, is an ancient fort supposed to smell? Some people don't get authentic when they sniff it. The Tomb of Kings is an excellent place to take wealthy relative that you'd like to bump off as it is strewn with awkward ...
