Lasa,

Polis Villages

 At about 600 metres above sea level, Lasa climate is a few degrees cooler than the low-lying inland villages, but this altitude has the added advantage of stunning views right down to Chrysochous Bay. The closest villages to Lasa are Fyti, about two kilometres east, and Milia, about four kilometres in a southerly direction.

 Lasa’s narrow, winding roads are lined with traditional stone houses, some in major disrepair and many being renovated. Quite a few of these stone houses are for sale as the number of elderly residents has slowly dwindled and the younger residents have moved on to larger towns to find employment.

 Lasa has a snack bar/coffee shop at its centre where the locals can meet and watch the world go by.

 There is a brilliant little tavern in the village, which is run by an old Cypriot couple.  Ask them for the dish of the day and they will give you the meal that they have cooked for themselves! The couple can prepare all basic meals for you and your family. A small traditional village shop is just a walk away; there you can order your daily fresh bread and basic necessities, and it also doubles as the village post office. More taverns and coffee shops can be found in neighbouring Fyti village which is just a short distance away.

 Lasa itself is the area's main village together with Fyti, concentrating the produce of the farming activities of smaller villages and hamlets around it.

 This vine clad sloping village offers truly magnificent views of valleys, mountains and uninterrupted sea views to Polis & Latchi in the distance.

 These are well-located villages-central for their area, occupying advantageous locations (the radio masts on both these villages attest to this).
