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 ...

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

1 July 2009—Flight to Paphos



Alarm was set for 6:30. It was decided
that we would catch the 7:31am Gatwick Express from Victoria Station.
Breakfast opened at 7am. We quickly scarfed down a few nibbles and
took a taxi to the station. We ran. The doors were closing as we
glided down the escalator and we hopped on the train.

I was nervous. I know deep, deep down,
somewhere in my being that things would be ...

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 & 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 ...

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 ...

We drove about 15 mins down the road from Polis to the Akamas Penninsula, a nature reserve / national park. This is where the Baths of Aphrodite are, a pretty little grotto where the Greek Goddess of Love was supposed to come and bathe. We walked on from the Baths to the Aphrodite Trail - a walking route that goes around the whole ...

... 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 ...
