When you are done with Letymbou, continue on the Paphos road until you come to this turning. If you have had enough for the day, just drive straight past this turning and head back to Paphos. We will visit Polemi again on other road trips. If however, you still have some energy, turn right here, and head for Polemi.

I love the scenery around Polemi. The vineyards add some year-round colour and the rolling hills just look majestic. I may be biased, as I live in Polemi, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

I won’t say much about Polemi in this road trip. It will feature in others, and as it as the end of this one, you are probably quite tired already.

Now, if you are hungry as well, turn right here. You will reach the main road. Continue on that and in a hundred yards you will be at the Olive Tree. This tavern is famous for its pork chops – they are both huge and delicious – but the food in general there is delicious and very reasonably priced.

If you aren’t hungry, turn left, and you will soon be on Polemi’s main drag.

Polemi is lucky enough to have two supermarkets, right next to each other. Both stay open long hours and are reasonably priced. Indeed, throughout the Paphos region of Cyprus you will find that there isn’t that much variation in prices between the small kiosks and the big supermarkets. Indeed, some items are cheaper (like toothpaste, for some reason) out in the sticks.

If you turn right at the supermarket in the distance, you will go down a one-way street. If you turn left at the bottom, you will reach a big square which is normally used as a car park. If you want to explore Polemi, and couldn’t park on the main drag, then this is where you should park your car.

This is Polemi’s main church, though there are at least three others, or more, depending on where you draw your village boundaries. If you drove down the one – way street you will see this.
