The long-awaited contract for the development of a project for the Latchi harbour reconstruction was signed on Friday, May 28,2021 in the municipality of Polis Chrysochous.
According to the plan, the project includes dining areas, roads, sidewalks and a bicycle path, toilets, parking lots and street lighting, reconstruction of residential buildings, creation of recreation areas with green spaces, as well as ramps and stairs where necessary, a water supply network and power supply, rainwater and sewerage management system.
The project will also include the renovation of the central part of the road leading to the port and the beach in the center of Latchi, the construction of a 1,900 m2 parking lot and the renovation of the coastal strip as almost 40% of the total budget allocated for the resort modernization will be spent on this.
The complete renovation of Latchi is expected to take a bit more than 4 years, after which it will turn into a center of attraction for locals and numerous tourists. The main goal is to improve the aesthetic appearance of the resort, as well as its accessibility and functionality.
Initially, the harbour of Latchi (Port of Polis) was used by /shing boats and other small vessels. In recent years, due to the increasing demand from tourists, the harbour has been expanded – a new outdoor pool was built to serve recreational boats, while the old port pool was left for /shing boats.
Over time, two docks with a length of 70 meters were erected, as well as a platform for small vessels with a length of 100 meters. Depth in the port is 2 to 4 meters.After the work was carried out, the port became the landmark of Polis,Prodromi and the village of Latchi.
