Self-Guided Walking Trips from Latchi or Polis
Polis, Latchi, and especially the stretch west of them can be an excellent coastal base for those who want to explore Akamas, the playground of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love and beauty. In the protected Akamas peninsula , there is a good pool of walking routes that one can experience, some of which (like the west descent of Aphrodite's trail) are considered to be among the very best in Cyprus. On top of beautiful nature in Akamas one can see cultural attractions in the form of medieval chapels like Agios Minas near Smigies or the very remote Agios Georgios on the west slope to Lara coast.
Of course Cyprus has a lot more than the beautiful Akamas. For those who would like other experiences in their walks, we offer walking trips to the Laona Plateau as well as to the area around Lysos. The walks in Laona, especially the shorter one add more cultural components to the experience in the form of well preserved stone-built traditional village(s). The walks around Lysos furthermore add the experience of entering the (Paphos) Forest and possibly seeing some of the thousands of the elusive mouflon that live in the forest. For the trips, we provide travellers with relevant GPS files as well and relevant taxi/minibus rides.
