The Other Cyprus

If Limassol is Mediterranean Dubai, Polis is the Tuscan counterpart: rural, quiet, authentic. Least developed coastal area. No high-rises. Akamas nature reserve. Prices 30-40% below Limassol.

What the Region Offers

Latchi: fishing harbor, excellent fish restaurants, boat tours to Blue Lagoon. Polis: small town charm. Akamas: nature reserve, hiking, turtle beaches. Baths of Aphrodite. Hill villages: affordable, authentic.

This was exactly our experience: Prices 30-40% below Limassol.
