Four Seafront Villages Worth Visiting Near Polis Chrysochous

Polis Chrysochous offers an ideal base for exploring the quieter, more authentic side of Paphos and Cyprus. With its relaxed pace and proximity to some of the island’s most scenic coastal villages, it’s easy to plan short road trips that combine beautiful views, local flavors, and peaceful atmospheres.

Here are four seafront villages well worth visiting during your stay:

1. Latsi – Fresh Seafood and Gentle Waters
Latsi (also known as Latchi) is just a short drive from central Polis and is known for its small fishing harbour, calm seafront, and welcoming taverns.
After a swim or a stroll along the marina, stop at one of the traditional fish taverns. Many serve daily catches—grilled seabream, octopus, or calamari, prepared and full of flavor. The setting is casual, often with tables just a few steps from the water.
Whether you’re visiting in the late morning or just in time for sunset, Latsi offers an easy, relaxing escape.

2. Argaka – Laid-back Vibes and a Seaside Pier
Heading east from Polis, the village of Argaka offers a longer, more rugged coastline dotted with quiet beach cafés and shady picnic spots under eucalyptus trees.
One of the more unique features here is the wooden pier —a simple structure that stretches out over the sea and is perfect for an afternoon walk, taking sunset photos, or simply finding a quiet spot to sit.
Argaka isn’t flashy, but that’s part of its charm. It’s the kind of place where you slow down without even trying.

3. Pomos – Wild Beauty and Coastal Views
Further along the coast is Pomos, a village with a wilder, more dramatic landscape. The drive itself is a highlight—twisting roads with cliffside views and the sea stretching endlessly to your left.
Pomos feels remote, with its rocky beaches, fishing boats, and untouched nature. It’s a great stop for those who enjoy photography, quiet walks, or a coffee with a view.
There are also a few small taverns and beach spots that feel almost hidden from the world.

4. Pachyammos – A Peaceful End-of-the-Road Retreat
At the edge of the northwestern coast lies Pachyammos, a village renowned for its serene setting and tranquil bay.
It’s a quiet place, ideal for visitors who want to escape the busy resorts further east. The beach is calm and typically uncrowded. The surrounding hills rise gently behind the village, lending it a protected and cozy feel.
A stop here is perfect for a low-key afternoon with a swim, a simple lunch, and the sound of the waves.
After exploring these charming coastal villages, it’s a pleasure to return to comfort and style.
