Exploring the charming village and Harbour of Latchi, Cyprus!
Latchi Cyprus
Welcome to Latchi Cyprus, a delightful fishing harbour and marina, otherwise known as Lakki or Latsi dependent on which map you are using!
Once a tiny fishing harbour, Latchi, Cyprus has grown considerably over the last 10 years, now boasting a large marina, yet it still retains its unique charm.
It is situated on the north west of the island close to the unspoilt Akamas peninsula.
Latchi is named after the old Greek word for water hole or well - "lakki".
Many years ago, before tourism came to Cyprus, local farmers would bring their livestock down from the hills en route to market and stop for a coffee at Latchi. There were several "lakkis" available for their animals to get fresh water...and so the little town got its name.
What to Find in Latchi Cyprus
What will you find when visiting or staying in Latchi:
fishing boats lining the old harbour
a brand new marina, housing many elegant yachts, along with larger tourist boats for exploring the Akamas.
smart tavernas with welcoming stone fronts and sparkling new interiors. All of the tavernas have been renovated in the last few years.
cafe bars and beach-side venues on platforms outside some of the tavernas.
the familiar enticing aroma of fresh fish, emanating from every restaurant, sizzling on the grill.
the inevitable coffee shop - Coffee Island on the harbour opened in 2020.
the old disco (yes Latchi DID have one) closed down some years ago, but I believe it's for sale if you fancy taking on a new business venture!
