OKAY, SO IT'S EASY FOR ME ... I LIVED IN CYPRUS FROM SEPT '91 UNTIL DEC '93 THEN I CAME BACK IN NOV '98 AND I'M STILL HERE ... BUT THAT'S WHY I KNOW THE PLACES THAT YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR TWO WEEK HOLIDAY! JEEZ, THAT SOUNDS PRETENTIOUS ... IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE, SORRY. ANYWAY, ONE OF THE NICEST PLACES IN CYPRUS, AWAY FRO THE USUAL TOURIST ATTRACIONS AND NIGHTLIFE, IS THE AKAMAS PENNINSULA ON THE WEST COAST OF THE ISLAND. IT IS FAMED FOR IT'S ABUNDANCE OF FAUNA AND WILDLIFE (SOME SPECIES BEING INDIGINOUS TO CYPRUS) AND HAS SOME FANTASTIC NATURE TRAILS. WHILST NOT YOUR TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF 'HIGH LIFE' SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE IDEA OF A QUITE, RELAXING BREAK AND FOR OTHERS IT MAKES A GREAT STOPOVER AWAY FROM THE USUAL HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE BIG CITIES. I HAVE STAYED OVER IN LATSI (A LITTLE VILLAGE ON THE COAST NEAR POLIS) MANY TIMES AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE FOLLOWING ACCOMODATION IS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY (AS WELL AS GIVING EASY ACCESS TO TOURIST ATTRACTIONS SUCH AS THE 'BATHS OF APHRODITE). SOULI HOTEL ... GOOD QUALITY ACCOMODATION WITH SWIMMING POOL ETC AND ALL FOR JUST £14 PER PERSON PER NIGHT PLAKA HOTEL ... EVEN BETTER ACCOMMODATION WITH 2 POOLS, AIRCON INCLUDED, ETC ... £15 PPPN THEOS VILLAS ... SLEEP 6+ PERSONS WITH PRIVATE POOL AND BBQ AREA ... FROM £55 PER VILLA PER NIGHT. SEE COUNTRYWIDE.COM.CY FOR THE PLAKA AND THEOSVILLAS.COM.CY FOR THE VILLAS (SAME CONTACT FOR THE SOULI HOTEL) HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY.

Advantages: A beautiful place for relaxing, great views, great food and cheap drinks! The people in Polis are very pleasant and helpful; they treat you like family once you get to know them. Disadvantages: Not a lot of nightclub's for those who want to go clubbing. You need to hire a car to travel to most areas as buses are never on time.
