Once Lachi was a small fishing village, but today it is a great place for an excellent beach holiday. And, despite the almost year-round stay of tourists here, the village has not lost its original charm, which today is well combined with the traditional way of life that has evolved over the centuries.

Lachi is located on the picturesque peninsula Akamas, not far from the city of Polis. As it is not surprising, but these edges are not very popular with a greater mass of tourists, therefore here it is always relatively calm. So you can not worry because you suddenly do not have enough sun beds or a place on the beach, there will be no problems with this. But at your service are fine sand and pebble beaches with the purest water of inexpressibly beautiful color.
The beach is well equipped, there are showers, toilets, platforms for easy entry into the water, a specially equipped path for people with disabilities.
The coastline of Lacha extends for 1.5 km and smoothly passes to Polis beach, although it is easy not to notice the time of the crossing. The beach strip is very spacious - from 30 to 50 m. Behind the beach area and greenery there is a convenient parking. And directly from the coast at 50 m in the sea are breakwaters, thanks to which there are no strong waves and underwater currents. In addition, the breakwaters can be beautifully sunbathing, enjoying complete solitude.
