The best kept
secret of Cyprus, Polis Chrysochous (the city of gold) is
situated in the northwest of the island, north of Pafos and
is part of the Pafos Region. It is 35km from Pafos town,
about 45 minutes from Pafos airport and about 2 hours from
Larnaca airport.

Polis is the site
of the ancient kingdoms of Marion and Arsinoe. It has a
history going back to ancient times and one can see real
treasures at various archeological sites and at the Local
Archeological museum. As if that is not enough, the Polis
area is probably the most beautiful area in Cyprus, with an
abundance of nature, culture and possibilities for an
enjoyable holiday. The area is blessed naturally with
plains, mountains, crystal clear seas and good beaches. The
climate is very healthy, with mild winters and cool summers.

Whether you enjoy
active holidays that include walking, cycling and jeep
safaris or prefer relaxing in the sun, Polis will be just
the right choice. Away from the beaten track and yet with
all the facilities expected by the modern day traveler,
Polis offers beautiful untouched nature, a real find for
professional and amateur photographers and artists.

When you get
tired of noise and people, head to the famous Akamas Nature
Reserve and discover a natural world which exists in only a
few places in Europe. Just five minutes from the main road
and you will be surrounded by an environment that looks as
if it has never been visited by people. If you are an
experienced traveler, enjoy wandering through the reserve
following walking paths and seeing wild animals and nature
rarely observed in their natural settings. For everyone else
a day excursion with a jeep safari is an adventure never to
be forgotten.
