Polis holidays –An authentic taste of Cypriot small town life
Holidays in Polis are based in one of the quietest and least developed resorts in Cyprus; a small country town with sleepy charm and plenty of Cypriot character, in north west Cyprus, 22 miles north of Paphos airport. Polis holidays offer a rather more authentic experience of Cyprus than the bigger beach resorts. The charm of Polis holidays is in the slow pace of small town Cypriot life with its orthodox churches, traditional buildings, pretty courtyards, picturesque square and daily market. Polis holidays feature plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants including some nice old-style tavernas serving Cypriot cuisine and traditional meze. Polis holiday nightlife is a modest affair with several bars and a disco near the centre of the village. Buses run along the coast to the popular lively resort of Paphos.
