Beaches
Being right on Chrysochous Bay, there are several beaches near Polis. Natura Beach, Latchi Beach and Soulli Beach are all within a few minutes drive of town. If you plan on staying near the beach, most of these have their own resorts and hotels for convenient accommodations.
Akamas Peninsula
West of Polis is the Akamas Peninsula natural park that many consider to be the most beautiful place on the island. The area is also steeped in mythology, as the Goddess Aphrodite was said to come here to meet Adonis. There is a pool known as Aphrodite’s Bath, which is also part of her myth. From the pool, there are 2 nature trails that you can take through the park, each will take about 3 hours to complete.
Gialia Monastery Ruins
A 10th century monastery of the Georgian Orthodox variety was recently discovered outside of Polis, and the ruins are gaining popularity as a tourist attraction. Parts of two buildings as well as other portions with inscriptions have been identified.
Paphos Forest
Though the Akamas Peninsula is famed for its beauty, the Paphos Forest park is much larger and it also includes the Troodos Mountain region. There are many places to go hiking through the forest and you can see several different types of landscapes and scenery as you go. Most of the area is heavily forested, along with very hilly areas, rivers and more. The area actually takes up a large portion of Cyprus so don’t expect to cover the entire park unless you have the time for some serious hiking.
