The Polis Coast In August
Leave Alone!
A sandier beach will also mean that turtles are more likely to nest there. When that happens, the authorities put these out to protect them. The main predator is foxes, apparently, but if you see one just leave it alone.
Latsi Harbour
There was quite a lot of activity at the Harbour when my drone buzzed past. Lots of boats were heading out towards the Blue Lagoon. The sea can get quite crowded there in the peak months. If you are hiring your own boat, you might want to consider visiting one of the little bays nearby. You will have a lot more privacy then.
Fish Restaurants
Latsi is a great place to come if you fancy some seafood, rather unsurprisingly. There are a lot of restaurants down there. You can also book a ticket to the Blue Lagoon or hire a boat yourself here. If you prefer something a bit more pre-planned though, take a look at the Viator Website. You will see the tours listed there and can book online and read reviews ets. It is run by the people who do Trip Advisor.
New Build
Behind Latsi you may notice a new hotel has sprung up. This is the Nalu, and it is part of the Leonardo Group.
Latsi View
From a distance, the hotel looks a bit beige. This is a fairly frequent observaton though. Building tend to blend in a bit better once they have been through a season or two of the local weather. It's like how unnatural your drive looks if you clean it with a pressure washer.

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.
