The small town of Polis is located at the north-west end of the island of Cyprus, right at the centre of a beautiful bay and on the edge of the Akamas peninsula nature reserve. An important kingdom in ancient times, it now offers a unique combination of unspoilt sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, a beautiful countryside, a very mild climate and the most hospitable and welcoming people.
The picturesque Polis square
with a variety of tavernas and open-air coffee shops is a meeting place for
locals and visitors alike. The small fishing harbour of Latchi is itself another
attraction.
Polis is also an ideal base for the exploration of a most interesting
surrounding area. Worth mentioning are the Byzantine churches and monasteries of
the region, the coastal cliffs towards cape Pomos, the pine and cedar forests of
the Paphos Mountains and the vineyards of the Laona area.
However, no visit to the area will be complete unless it includes a day out in the Akamas peninsula nature reserve. An unspoiled land, with a very rich flora and with several walking trails, the Akamas is simply a nature lover’s paradise. A boat trip along the spectacular Akamas coastline is also an experience not to be missed.
Directions:
From Paphos Airport enter the Limassol-Paphos motorway driving towards Paphos.
From Larnaca Airport enter the Larnaca-Limassol motorway driving towards Limassol. From there continue straight into the Limassol-Paphos motorway.
At the very end of the motorway (after a 15 min. drive from Paphos Airport and 90 min. drive from Larnaca), drive straight onto the Paphos-Polis road (the B7). Upon arrival in Polis (after another 30 minutes), drive straight into the town and follow the signs for "hospital" and "camping site" (as well as 2-3 signs of the hotel itself). Immediately after the hospital, turn right and drive along for approx. 800m until your arrival at the Natura.
