Family Holiday in Latchi, Cyprus

So I have been rather quiet, and here is one of the reasons why:
We have spent our family holidays in my parent’s villa in Cyprus.  It is in a fishing village called Latchi which is near Polis which is near Paphos.

3 double bedrooms so we were all comfortable even with Mum and Dad!

We hired a car at Paphos airport, drove the hour trip to the villa and had a truly lovely holiday. 
Everyday was spent with mornings at the Latchi beaches

and afternoons by the pool.  James our 4 year old learnt to swim and Sophia, 7 learnt back stroke. 

  Both were able to snorkel by the end of the 10 days too

 (baby thought she could - but was just a sea monster instead!).

 Most days lunch was on the side patio, allowing the food to go down by laying on the sun loungers.

We cooked in a few nights having bought food at the Papantonio Supermarket in Polis (5 minuets drive) and lit the BBQ for a couple.  Others we ate out at some of the great local restaurants in Latchi and Polis.
There is some great food to be had, our favourite being Moussaka, Loukaniko and Sheftalia sausages.  We loved ordering the Meze where a mix of dips, pitta, and meats came ...ooh and not forgetting the grilled Haloumi Cheese!  Hindsight - should have taken some photos of the delicious food.  I have even made Tzatziki (Greek yogurt with cucumber and garlic dip) several times since getting home!

The villa now has wifi set up, (doesn’t mean I logged onto my emails though!!) and British TV through it.  We barely watched television, but the kids borrowed a DVD from the shop in Polis and had a film night one evening while we were on the mojitos!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday there!

So if you are looking for a lovely restful break then conveniently it is for hire, and you can pick up cheap flights to Paphos.

There are more pictures of inside the villa on it’s Facebook page so take a peek!  3 Bed Villa Neo Chorio, Cyprus to rent
