Paphos (Paphos, also Pafos) - a city in Cyprus in the western part of the island (Paphos on the map. It is the most peaceful resort city of the four largest resorts in Cyprus (Limassol, Larnaca, Ayia Napa and Paphos). This is one of those places where you should go first of all in order to get acquainted with the sights and history of the island, or just have a quiet time. There are several important archaeological parks and museums, historical ruins and ancient temples, colorful traditional villages and natural attractions. The historic district of the city with all its monuments is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

But this does not mean that in Paphos there is no beach holiday at all, it's just that it is much less developed here, and there are few good beaches. The beaches here, unfortunately, are mostly Pebble-Sandy, you can even say Stone-Sandy. The entrance to the water is inconvenient, even on clean sandy beaches, many stones are hidden under the water.

There is a large fishing port Latchi (Latchi), and very close to the peninsula and the Akamas Reserve.

This is one of the most peaceful and quiet resorts in Cyprus, suitable exclusively for beach holidays. There are no attractions, a minimum of entertainment, but the beaches are the best in the entire area of Paphos. They are long, sandy mixed with pebbles, wide, and very sparsely populated even at the height of the season in the summer months. True, it's the same as everywhere else, just at the water's edge and under water pebbles, but here it is, at least, small and smooth. There are pure pebble beaches in the Polis area, so there will be plenty to choose from. The infrastructure in Polis is quite developed, but not as well as in Paphos.
