Tourist Guide Polis
Polis is a beach town in the south of Cyprus. It is located in the Greek-controlled southern half of the island and looks across the Chrysochou Bay to the Akamas Peninsula.
The landscape is varied with rocky hills, lush green meadows and lazy beaches. Like the rest of western Cyprus, the climate is definitively Mediterranean. Tourists advised to travel during spring, with temperatures around 24°C.
In the summer time, Lara Beach becomes the only area in the town that is closed to tourists. The Lara Beach Turtle Station does this to protect the nesting green and loggerhead turtles.
With a population around 3,000, Polis is not as developed as some of the other Cypriot beach towns. But visitors here enjoy the chance for some relaxed time on its beaches and usually don’t miss the chaos of places like Agia Napa.
