Cyprus Friends and a New car.

Our friends Liza and Dom who live in Pissouri village are now activley searching for suitable accommodation for our proposed Winter in Cyprus.

We have decided that as our plans mean that we are staying in the UK in the short term that we needed to change our car, our old one is 10 years old and it always needs some work doing to it. 

We went down to our local dealer and got a car that is 18 months old. Its not a big car, it’s a Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec, but its big enough for us and hopefully will be reliable.

Our first outing in the Car was to the Brecon beacons National Park in South Wales. The Beacons are an area of outstanding natural beauty.

A visit to the Polis and Latchi area in Cyprus.

We returned to Cyprus in July 2006. This time we went to the Polis/Latchi area of the island which is North of Pafos. We booked into the Souli Hotel on the seafront of Latchi, it’s a small family run Hotel and all the staff were friendly and Helpful.

This is a beautiful area of Cyprus, much Greener than the other places we have visited. The Polis/Latch area loosk a good area for coastal walks and bike riding…when the weather is cooler.

The sea at this time of year is perfect for swimming in and if you take a boat to some of the more secluded coves then the water in an unbelievable shade of blue.

Our plans for a move to Cyprus had changed slightly, we now intend to hold onto our UK property for now and spend a couple of months in Cyprus this coming Winter. We think this will give a better feel of actualy living on the Island.

CYPRUS (LATCHI) ...July in Souli Hotel

In July 2006, we once again returned to Cyprus, this time we made our base in the small coastal village of Latchi, which is North of Paphos.

We stayed in the Souli hotel, a small family run hotel that sits right on the coastline.

On our first evening we strolled down to the harbour, had a couple of drinks, dinner and watched the Sun set.

The following day we hired a car  and explores the Paphos forest, we also drove  West of latchi to the edge of the Akamas National park.

The Next day we popped down to the harbour to take  Boat trip along the coast to the Blue lagoon.
