Polis Beaches Part 1
Into Latsi
Latsi is normally heaving in the summer, and you may find parking a bit of a chore. At the moment though, it is a breeze.
The Beach By Latsi
I'm not sure whether this beach is still part of Souli Beach, or whether it counts separately. It is just to the left of Latsi though, on the same strip as Souli. As you can see, there is plenty of room.
Latsi Harbour
Let's take a look at the harbour itself now. One thing you will find here is a lot of boat tour operators, vying for your trade. They have been particularly hard hit during the pandemic, owing to the bizarre law which prevents Cyprus residents from being able to hire a boat without having a license. Tourists are allowed, but if you live here, it is not possible. Apparently the government have announced that this law will change soon, and it can't happen quickly enough.
You can find more information on tours here:
Visit the Paphos Tours Directory
If you have a tour or boat hire company that is not yet on that list, do get in touch. We are soon doing a feature on the Blue Lagoon and there will be promotional opportunities available. Plus, basic listings in the directory are free.
Let's Explore Latsi
I feel a break from sand is needed. Let's take a brief look at the pretty harbour.
Working Fishermen
As you can see, the harbour is not just for tourists. The fishing boats also ensure that the restaurants are well stocked with delicious local catches.

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.
