About Latchi, Paphos (Cyprus)

Latchi is part of Polis Chrysochous Municipality (also known as Polis).

Once a small coastal fishing village, now one of the most visited tourist areas in the Paphos district, Latchi became a must-visit place on the island, especially if you are visiting the district of Paphos.

It’s 35-40 minutes away by car from Coral Bay.

It has a fishing harbor and one of our favorites beaches in Paphos…Latchi beach. It’s a beautiful pebbled beach just next to the taverns.

Latchi is also very near to the Baths of Aphrodite and Akamas Peninsula.

So if you decide to visit it, you have quite a few things to see and do.

If you wish to have a relaxed day on the beach, sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling and later have a delicious meal in one of the taverns – next to the beach – Latchi is the place to be.

Please note that during the summer season (June, July and August) Latchi is full of visitors and locals. So if you want to visit it in a quieter time consider visiting us either during May, September or October. The sun is still shining and the beach and taverns are quieter.

Visit the Baths of Aphrodite and see the place where the Ancient Greek Goddess of Love and Beauty was taking her bath.

Also, you can visit Akamas Peninsula from the Baths as long as you have a 4x4 car and very good driving skills because the dirt road in Akamas is very rocky and bumpy.
