The Polis Coast
Old Boat
Rather unsurprisingly, both the tavern and the beach were closed for winter. Well, the beach wasn't closed, but the lifeguard wasn't on duty and there were no sunbeds.
Distant Dog Beach
The Dog Beach lies in the other direction. If you want to exercise your pooch there, drive towards Aphrodite's Baths and turn right at the Dog Beach sign. When you get to the car park, you may think the beach looks a bit rocky. Relax, and turn left, it gets better over that way. Be warned though, that during the summer months (especially August) you may find it packed with gazebos and other constructions.
A Curious Entrance
Heading towards Latsi from Ttakkas Bar, you will drive through a resort. After that, there is a dirt track on your left before you get to another resort. If you take that track you will end up here. It doesn't look like much, but get out of your car and go take a look...
Chalavro Beach
Meet Chalavro Bay. It is one of my favourite beaches in Cyprus, because most of it is just one huge strip of sand. There are watersports and a posh hotel at one end, complete with sunbeds and beach bar in the summer. Most of the beach though is just good old-fashioned sand.
Towards Ttakkas
If you walk in that direction you will eventually get to Yiannakis and Ttakkas Beaches, and the Aphrodite Beach Resort.

Polis Beaches Part 1
We've already had a look at how the beaches and restaurants of Paphos and Ayia Napa are coping with the new norms of social distancing. It is time to turn our attention to the Polis coast, and take a look at what the situation is there. In Part 1 we go from Aphrodite's Baths to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 2
In this report we originally planned on showing you the beaches from Kato Pyrgos to Polis. However, there were so many that we have had to split it in two, so join us as we travel from Kato Pyrgos to the outskirts of Pomos. In our next blog we will continue the journey to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 3
In the final part of our look at the beaches along the north coast of Paphos, we travel from Pomos to Polis, finishing up with a slap-up meal at our favourite kebab joint. If you want quieter beaches in beautiful surroundings, then this area will not disappoint. We visited these beaches more times than was strictly necessary to make this blog, which shows that we have saved what we consider to be some of the best Paphos beaches to last.
Aphrodite's Secret Beach Area
If you visit Aphrodite's Baths near Latsi, you can be forgiven for initially being a little bit underwhelmed by the experience. But fear not! The area of countryside you are in is actually astonishingly beautiful, so once you have gazed somewhat disappointedly at the baths, be sure to take in the surrounding area, and I guarantee you won't feel cheated. And don't neglect the coastline! It is a little known fact that before Aphrodite took her bath, she liked nothing more than having a splosh in the sea at her secret beach, followed by a bite to eat in the tavern. Let us be your guide...Related Pages
MapThe Polis Coast
I recently went for a walk along the Polis Coast. It was supposed to be a drone flight, but I managed to leave the drone at home, so instead I visited some of the beaches and took some suitably scenic pictures. Enjoy the beauty that is the Polis Coastline on a beautiful Spring morning.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
