The city, now called Polis, once bore the name Marion, then was renamed Arsinoe at the beginning of a new era and was known under this name throughout the Mediterranean. The city has had its current name only since the XIV century. The small town of Polis is located in the northwest of the island.
Wonderful seascapes, secluded coves, lagoons, marinas and clean beaches, excellent places for walking in the bosom of nature or along the narrow streets of a town teeming with cafes and shops. All this is the embodiment of the modern Polis. This is exactly the same place in Cyprus, which is located in the middle between the large resort towns, where there are a lot of people during the peak season, and the small foothill villages scattered around Troodos. Life in Polis goes on as usual: measured and calm. Visitors from all over the world, having come here, understand that it is here that you can relax and take a break from the bustle of the world. It is no coincidence that these places are chosen by couples with children. At the same time, Polis has excellent service and there is something to do almost at any time of the year: vacation at sea, walks in Akamas, gatherings in taverns, participation in fairs, festivals and competitions.
If you come here, it is worth visiting the Marion-Arsinoe Museum, opened 20 years ago. It presents a collection of household items, tools, clothing, tools of the inhabitants of Cyprus, who inhabited the island from the Neolithic times to the present day. Not far from Polis, about 3 kilometers, if you go up the Adonis trail, there are the famous baths of Aphrodite. Polis also has its own Botanical Garden, on the territory of which fruit fairs are held.
Lovers of sea recreation will appreciate the pristine beaches of Polis. Some of the best are the Eucalyptus Beach and the beach near the village of Latchi. Calm and clear sea, wonderful air filled with aromas of flowers and eucalyptus - what could be better for vacationers who came to the island of Cyprus from afar? By the way, Polis is perfect for those who want to save money on vacation. Here, from April to October, there are tent camps and rental centers for everything necessary for recreation.
