About Cyprus
The people of Cyprus are warm, friendly and
naturally hospitable, and it is a genuine
pleasure for us to welcome visitors –
perhaps because they have been doing just
that for thousands of years. As the third
largest island in the Mediterranean, with
its unique proximity to Europe, Asia and Africa,
Cyprus has been coveted, won and lost by countless
civilisations over the centuries. Since the
Mycenaean Greeks settled here over 3,000 years
ago establishing the Greek civilisation on
the island, we have seen Phoenicians, Romans,
Crusaders, Franks, Venetians and other conquerors
who have all left their mark here and helped
to shape the island's special character.
Aphrodite, mythological goddess of beauty,
was born in the foam of our warm seas, and
spawned a huge cult in pagan times.
Cyprus is an island of great beauty and endless
variety. Golden beaches and rugged coastline
are contrasted by the impressive backdrop
of unusual mountain ranges.
Greek temples, roman remains, Byzantine churches
and crusader castles inspire fascinating excursions.
About Paphos
The whole town of Paphos is included in the
official UNESCO list of cultural and natural
treasures of the world heritage. Wherever
one treads in Paphos one comes across its
glorious history which dates back thousands
of years, when the cult of goddess Aphrodite
who emerged from its seas, flourished in this
beautiful part of the world attracting many
visitors from inland and abroad.
Today it is a small harbour town, but in Hellenistic
and Roman times it was the capital of Cyprus.
Still under the spell of her Beauty- goddess,
the area retaining her magic has remained
intact by time. It seduces its visitor with
its majestic landscape, lovely coastline,
historical treasures and delightful villages
where tradition is still a way of life. Kept
in harmony with nature are divine mediaeval
monasteries which lie peacefully in the Paphos
heartland

About Coral Bay
Renowned for its superb sandy beaches, Coral
Bay is a delightful resort situated 12kms
from Paphos. The main road is lined with a
small but ample selection of shops, restaurants,
banks and bars giving you everything you need
for a relaxing holiday without losing any
of its local charm. Life here tends to be
based around the sandy bay with calm shallow
waters making it ideal for children. Also
offering a wide selection of water sports
it is perfect for all the family.
About Sea Caves/ St George
The Sea Caves area was once rural and barren
land. Over recent years it has changed dramatically.
Now it is one of the finest residential areas
on the Island offering some of the most exclusive
villas in Cyprus. This is not surprising when
you consider its breathtaking rugged coastline
and small sandy coves with crystal clear Mediterranean
waters. Sunsets in this region are simply
magical.
Further along you will discover the pretty,
tiny picturesque fishing harbour of St George
with a small sand/shingle beach. A perfect
spot for snorkelling and scuba diving, topping
up your tan or enjoying the local specialty
“fish meze” in one of the selection
of small family run tavernas.
About Polis/ Latchi
Located North of Paphos town and approximately
a 30 minute drive away, Polis is an ideal
holiday location for the select few who appreciate
authenticity and seek peace and tranquillity.
It has a pleasant and relaxing environment,
which blends mountains, sea and plain with
a wonderful healthy climate.
Dotted with citrus groves, overlooking turquoise
seas, Polis is the least developed beach resort
in the south of Cyprus. It is the perfect
base, offering easy access to the varied landscapes
of rocky promontories, lush meadows, rugged
forests, sleepy monasteries and quiet beaches
comprising the largely unspoilt western region
of Cyprus. Polis looks across Chrysochou bay
to the Akamas Peninsula, a nature conservation
area complete with hiking trails steeped in
mythological legends.
Life in polis revolves around the colourful
bustling square, with a fantastic selection
of restaurants and cafes to choose from. Local
shops, banks, supermarkets etc make it a quaint
and friendly resort, ideal for those who want
modern conveniences but retaining its true
Cypriot charm and hospitality.
A few kilometres from Polis is the beautiful
picturesque harbour of Latchi, lined with
an excellent selection of fresh sea food restaurants,
it’s an ideal spot to relax and enjoy
a fantastic meal or refreshing drink whilst
looking out over the crystal waters of the
Mediterranean Sea.
About Akamas/Lara
The Akamas national park is a splendid 155sq
km area of hills and rocky shores, and a habitat
for species of flora and fauna unique to the
Mediterranean. Only a few dirt tracks penetrate
the peninsula, only fit for four-wheel drive
vehicles, although nature trails have been
established for walkers.
The beaches at Lara are splendid, these being
two sandy sections on either side of a bushy
headland. The northern one is the most extensive.
Here the coast faces due west, towards the
open Mediterranean, and the waves tend to
be bigger.
As wonderful scenery is, Lara has another
claim to fame. Loggerhead turtles lay their
eggs in the golden sands. Access to these
shores by land is poor, the track from Agios
Georgios being too rough for cars. The perfect
way to see this coastal strip is by boat from
Paphos.
