Latchi Village - Cyprus
Latchi is in fact Cyprus oldest fishing village. Cypriots all around the country visit latch for its plentiful restaurants specialising in fresh fish and traditional meze, pretty harbour, water sports, diving & boat excursions and is of course home to the notorious Baths of Aphrodite Cyprus very own goddess of love.
Latchi / Latsi with its coastal paved walk is the picturesque harbour of Polis, known throughout Cyprus for its fresh fish. In the past it served as a small port for shipping carobs. The old stone carob warehouses have been converted into restaurants, fish taverns and places of recreation. From Latchi, travelers to Polis can go on short cruises to the Akamas, a must for all visitors.
The village does have a couple of shops and bars, but no nightlife to speak of, all contributing to its tranquil charm. Close to Latchi are the famous Baths of Aphrodite and inland, a fragrant drive through orchards and olive groves to the charming villages of Makounta and Drouseia provides a pleasant day out, whilst a regular bus service into Paphos may tempt those seeking some brighter lights for a change. Distance from airport approximately 55 kilometres.
