ClickRentStay Travel Guide To Paphos - Polis

Here are some of the owners’ comments about the local area around Polis

Polis Chrysochous is a relatively new tourist destination in Cyprus. Located North West of the region of Pafos at a 30 minute distance from the town of Pafos, 45 minutes from Pafos airport and approximately 2 hours away from Larnaca airport, Polis is an ideal holiday location for the select few who appreciate authenticity and seek rest and tranquility in a pleasant and friendly environment, which blends mountains, sea and plain with a wonderful healthy climate, a mild winter, a particularly warm, clear sea and sandy beaches.

Although Polis is classed as a town, it has a “village” feel to it and has many attractive renovated properties. To give you an idea of its size, you could walk through Polis in 15 minutes. It is still extremely “Cypriot”, with most restaurants and shops being run by the family. Cheaper to eat out here than in Paphos, and the restaurants are all in hot competition to serve you the best food and give the friendliest service. Many, like Mosfilo Taverna (150m) serve the traditional specialities, like delicious kollo kassi, afelia, stifado etc. (Cooked by the owner’s mother and relations). Even simple food like stuffed tomatoes tastes wonderful due to home grown local produce being used. The Akamas National Park is nearby, and offers beautiful countryside and uncrowded beaches, all protected from development. These include sandy Lara Bay, where the turtles nest, and Chrysochou Bay, which offers mile after mile of quiet beaches alongside citrus groves, with a dramatic backdrop of hills. Polis Retreat
