Pharmacy in Polis Chrysochous tonight

Pharmacy access in Polis, Latchi and the Akamas — with an honest note about travel time.
Polis Chrysochous is the largest town in the western Paphos district, gateway to the Akamas Peninsula and Latchi harbour. It's part of the Paphos district administratively, but physically it sits 38 km north of Paphos city (35-45 minutes by car). Cyprus rotates the on-call pharmacy at the district level. Polis has 4-5 daytime pharmacies — but at night, the duty pharmacy might be here, or it might be in Paphos city.
Practical advice for visitors staying in Polis, Latchi, Neo Chorio or the Akamas: stock up on the basics (painkillers, antihistamines, sunburn cream, GESY prescription refills) during the day. Polis pharmacies close at 18:00. After hours, plan a 35-45 minute drive to Paphos city if tonight's duty pharmacy is not local.

FAQ — Pharmacies in Polis Chrysochous
Honest answer: is there an open pharmacy in Polis at night?
Polis has 4-5 daytime pharmacies, but at night the on-call rotation runs at the Paphos district level — and most nights the duty pharmacy is in central Paphos (Ktima) or Kato Paphos, which is 35-45 minutes away by car (38 km). Occasionally the duty rotation lands a pharmacy in Polis itself. Always check the district page first.
How far is Polis from the nearest open pharmacy at night?
If tonight's duty pharmacy is in Polis — under 10 minutes. If it's in Paphos — 35-45 minutes via the B7 road. Plan accordingly. For non-urgent needs, it's often easier to stock up during the day from one of the Polis daytime pharmacies before they close at 18:00.
Is Latchi covered by the same schedule?
Yes. Latchi (Λατσί) sits just west of Polis and falls under the same Paphos district on-call schedule. Same caveat applies: at night you may have to drive to Paphos.
What if I'm staying near the Akamas and don't drive?
Hotels in Polis, Latchi and the Akamas area will arrange a taxi if you call ahead. Taxis are not metered to Paphos at night — agree the fare upfront. For a true medical emergency, call 112 (European emergency) or 199 (Cyprus); don't try to drive to a pharmacy.
