The Polis Coast In August
Published 23rd of August, 2026
Sunbeds Galore
Lots of the sunbeds were in use, so I recommend arriving early if you want to guarantee your own one.
I haven't eaten at any of the restaurants here but they are popular with the locals, which is always a good sign.
All the sunbeds there look taken!
Parting Shot
Here's a final look at the western end of the bay. It is an idyllic location, with the Akamas forming a beautiful backdrop.
Bare Sands
The rest of the bay is fairly wild, in that it has no facilities. Well, at the end is a big swanky hotel, but before then, you have a pretty empty beach. When it had a blue flag it was called Chalavro Beach. I don't know what its name is now though. Google suggests either "Anassa", which is the name of the hotel, or "Yiannakis Beach", which we have already seen.

MapThe Polis Coast In August
It's August, and Cyprus is on Holiday. Normally empty beaches in hidden coves have sprung to life, as the local Cypriot population come out to enjoy the summer sun. I thought it would be fun to capture the mood so I took the drone and my camera out to record the experience.

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.
