The Polis Coast In August
Empty Spaces
Even here though, there are plenty of empty areas should you prefer a bit of privacy.
New Beach
This little beach has appeared in recent years. It is on the way to the campsite, which you can see in the distance. There is a basic shower here and the water is very nice. You can swim out to the artificial reef as well.
Campsite Conundrum
Our final destination is the old Polis Campsite. This is currently being renovated, and isn't due to re-open for 3 years or more. It is a real shame as the beach was lovely.
Tent City
There are a few tents down there still, on the beach, but zero facilities. This includes water and sanitation.
Towards Limni
Chrysochou Bay does not end here though. It stretches all the way up to Nea Dimmata which is just before Pomos. Most of that route consists of unspoilt coastline with a pebbly shore. There are the occasional beach but it is really reserved for DIY sun worshippers who don't need facilities. The local Cypriots though tend to head for the areas we covered at the start of the article.
If you are in the area, do stop for a swim and visit one of the local taverns. You will not be disappointed with the food, and the scenery is amazing!

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.
