This contemporary bungalow is situated in a quiet cul de sac amongst a cluster of exclusive villas, near the sea in Polis. It is spacious and on one level, and has been finished to a high standard using local stone, quality ceramic tiles, granite and wood. The large private pool and rear garden enjoy all day sunshine, and there are lovely views across the fields. The beautiful garden features lemon orange, peach and olive trees which bear fruit and fill the air with scent. It also boasts a large roof terrace, which compliments the functional design of the bungalow, with magnificent views where you can enjoy an evening dining al fresco.
The sandy beach is approx 10 - 15 mins walk and there is a regular bus service from Polis to Paphos and Coral Bay. Latchi harbour and sandy beach is 7 minutes drive.
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 offers an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, bars, banks etc. and 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.
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.

Cypriots as well as visitors agree that the Polis area belong to the most beautiful parts of the Cyprus Republic. Even in July and August when much of Cyprus bakes brown in the sun, the area remains relatively green. Agriculture and fishery still are important which adds to the authentic atmosphere of this place.
Polis is considered to be the best location for nature lovers and those keen on active holidays, such as water sports, diving, hiking, cycling, horse riding and golf. The marina at Latchi is a focal point and is shared by traditional fishing boats as well as larger yachts, and the quayside boasts a wide collection of fish restaurants where you must try the fish that has been caught that day and brought into the harbour. If you are feeling energetic try some of the water sports or take a trip on one of the glass bottom boats out along the Akamas Peninsula and see nature at its best. Take your swimming costume though as the boat moors in a wonderful cove to allow you to swim or snorkel and take refreshments, which are normally provided. Alternatively just sit and relax on the wide uncrowded beaches which spread out along the coastline.

The serene pool, shaded by a fig tree and surrounded by beautiful examples of maindenhair fern, can be reached by nature trails from Akamas. It is about 3km from Latchi and 9km from Polis, and from there start the Akamas National Park towards the cape.
A drive to the Troodos Mountains also provides a beautiful and fascinating spectacle of Cyprus. A visit to the Kykkos monastery in the mountains, an area of natural beauty is an unforgettable experience. Visit the many traditional inland villages and enjoy a meal at a local taverna – you’ll be sure of a warm welcome!
