An introduction to Cyprus
The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is internationally known as an extremely popular holiday destination, thanks to its excellent climate with over 340 days of sunshine a year, its warm hospitable people, delicious cuisine and its safe and friendly environment.
The island has something to offer everybody from crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, green valleys, beautiful mountain pine forests, citrus groves and traditional Cypriot villages to modern towns and cities.
The history and ancient legends of Cyprus dates back over 9000 years and it still has many archaeological treasures and wonderful places of interest to enchant you, all over the island.
This makes Cyprus a much sought after place for people to retire to, or invest in and as such property prices have been increasing by up to 10% per year over the past few years, making for good returns on your property investment.

Furthermore, the region boasts an excellent archaeological museum, Byzantine churches and traditional houses.
Polis is served by the picturesque fishing port and marina of Latchi / Latsi – In the past it served as a small port for shipping carobs. These days the old stone carob warehouses have been converted into restaurants, fish taverns many of which are dotted along the quay side. It also offers water-sport facilities and boat- trips to Akamas and the famed Blue Lagoon; a must for all visitors.
However, the great advantage of Polis is its close vicinity to the beautiful and unspoiled Akamas peninsula, a nature reserve which has become a National Park. Α walk along its nature trails accompanied by the panoramic view out across the bay of Polis Chrysochous is a unique experience.
