DRIVING through POLIS TOWN in CYPRUS *15 FEBRUARY 2024* 4K (60fps)

Driving through the beautiful Town of Polis on the West Coast of Cyprus on a rare overcast day 15 FEBRUARY 2024
POLIS TOWN
Polis (or Polis Chrysochous; Greek: Πόλη Χρυσοχούς or Πόλις Χρυσοχούς, Turkish: Poli) is a town at the west end of the island of Cyprus and is located on the edge of the Akamas peninsula nature reserve.
The Baths of Aphrodite and the recently discovered ruins of the medieval Georgian Orthodox monastery of Gialia are located near the town.
Facilities include a campsite on the beach, several small hotels, at least one of each type of shop, one branch of each major Cypriot bank, and many bars and restaurants mainly clustered around the town square and the pedestrianised streets to the south. A small bus station acts as the hub of a network of infrequent bus routes connecting the outer villages as well as the near hourly 645 route to Paphos.
Facilities further afield include boat hire and boat trips from Latchi harbour, nature trails and walks from Baths of Aphrodite, and surfing and windboarding at Argaka.
The village where the town gets its full name from, Chrysochou, is located about 2 km (1.2 mi) inland to the south and the bay the whole region is located on is called Chrysochou bay. The Greek word "Polis" simply means city or city-state, so the town's full name, Polis Chrysochou, is derived from it being the administrative centre for the region. Chrysochou in turn derives its name from the Greek word "Chryso" meaning gold, likely intended to mean prosperity in relation to the nearby copper mines as no source or record of gold is known in the vicinity.The Greek word "Polis" simply means city or city-state, so the town's full name, Polis Chrysochou, is derived from it being the administrative centre for the region.
