A 4x4 vehicle is required when driving in the Akamas National Park.
Distances
Latchi has very good fish tavernas and the harbour and beach there are only 3kms away from Prodromi. The Akamas National Park is near to Polis (15 mins drive away), has beautiful scenery and is a good area for walking, birdwatching and cycling. Bird enthusiasts visit the area during the bird migration cycles in April and September (as the birds fly to/from Africa). The Troodos Mountains are about a 2 hrs drive away and can be easily explored by car and during Winter is a good place for skiing.
Further details
Polis is a traditional unspoilt Cypriot town with a variety of tavernas, restaurants and shops all centred around the old town square. Supermarkets, banks, a Post Office and the tourist information office are all easily found nearby. The village itself Prodromi, has a supermarket, bakery, fruiterer, tavernas and a new ten pin bowling centre.
The surrounding area is ideal for cycling, walking and hiking the unspoilt hills of the Akamas Peninsula and within the Troodos area lie numerous nature trails in the Troodos National Forest Park. Tsada golf course is only 30 minutes drive away and is located amongst vineyards next to a 12th century monastery.
You can take a road trip inc. hired driver to the Akamas Peninsula to see it's deep gorges (e.g. Avakas Gorge), wild landscape and sandy bays. The Akamas is home to a large number of birds, rare wild plants and beautiful flowers unique to the island. Lara Bay is a beautiful beach and is a turtle sanctuary where the endangered green and loggerhead turtles can be seen. As mentioned previously driving within the Akamas area requires the use of a 4x4 vehicle.
The Baths of Aphrodite and Neo Chorio (a small and traditional village) are nearby. Pomos (19km away) has a man made harbour (at Pomos Point) overlooked by an nice taverna and adjacent to the ‘Relax’ beach which has a unique charm of its own.
The Kato Paphos Archaeological Park (near the fort and the harbour front) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and sheds some light on Cyprus under the Roman Empire. It is home to some wonderful Roman mosaics found on the floors of the Roman villas.
The popular large, sandy beach at Coral Bay is classed as being one of the best on the west coast and is worth a visit but gets very busy during the peak season.
The Aphrodite Waterpark (30-40 minutes drive away) is open between May and October and is a great day out for the whole family. It is situated on the far eastern end of the Kato Paphos coastal road.
