Polis, ah a teeny little gem with stunning stone buildings and a little cluster of bars and restaurants. We came here for a lovely little fish meze, to be honest it wasn't the best fish we have had in Cyprus, the calamari was perfect but in general the fish was overcooked, however the wine was lovely and the ambience was perfect and we did have a lovely evening.
I seem to be drawn to anything green or flowering, think I am just desperate to get growing again. We have been successful with tomatoes, peppers and chillies here this year, the harvest wasn't bountiful but it was enough for us.
Well ofcourse this little beauty caught my eye, I wouldn't say no to a little drive in this 💓
Latchi Harbour was typically beautiful of fishing harbours in Cyprus, lined with restaurants and sellers offering boat trips. It was a hot weekend temperatures touched 40 celsius and we clambered aboard a boat to enjoy the sea breeze as well as the views.
Can you see the village on the hillside above, this is were we stayed. The view from our balcony was out of this world.
The coastline was very rural, the Akamis Peninsula is stunning and the waters are so cool and clear. We had a lovely swimming stop where we tried out our new full face snorkel masks which worked brilliantly and are much easier to use than traditional snorkels.
A spectacular peaceful fishing spot, can you just make out the lone fisherman?
Just look how clear the water is, and those colours - I love them💓
Polis again, the views behind me stretch for uninterrupted miles and miles. Although this is a very touristy resort there are no high rise hotels the accomodation available consists of traditional stone villas, just stunning.
Finally we ventured as far as we could along a track into the forest, the canopy gave us welcome shade from the sun and we stopped to have our little picnic. As we wandered through the trees a bunch/flock/flutter of butterflys flew up around us - it was magical. After some inspection we saw the little disguised butterflies resting on the tree bark. What do you call a bunch/flock/flutter of butterflies?
On our trip back to our village we passed by this. It is the entrance to a property and the driveway was framed with this pergola covered in vines and dripping with bunches of grapes. I had such vine envy - I have a yearning for vines rambling across a pergola.
This was our final jaunt around Cyprus, we have now done the entire coastline and most of what is in the middle too! We intended to 'do' the island when we arrived nearly three years ago and we have certainly 'done it'.
Now time to get packing, selling and sorting!
