Features
Polis 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, like the sandy Lara Bay, where the turtles nest, and Chrysochou Bay, which offers quiet beaches alongside citrus groves, with a dramatic backdrop of hills.
