The main road north from Paphos takes you to Chrysochou Bay, which runs from the tip of the Akamas Peninsular in the west to Pomos Point in the east. The main villages of significance are Polis and the fishing harbour of Latchi. The more adventurous can find many fine undiscovered beaches, further to the east but most tourists head for the beach resorts on the coast near Latchi and Polis. Romantics, however, usually head further west till the road reaches a parking lot by the Baths of Aphrodite, in the heart of the Akamas National Park.
The Akamas National Park lies on the west coast of Cyprus, a truly pictorial part of the island. It has an area coverage of 230 square kilometres containing valleys, gorges and wide sandy bays.
