Review:
This small town, formerly known as Marion, has had mixed fortunes. It has been ruled by Egyptians, Persians, Arabs, Greeks and the British. It was likely colonized during neolithic times but came to prominence when copper was found nearby in the 3rd century BC.
It was destroyed by Ptolemy and rebuilt, only to suffer extensive damage after the Muslim conquests. Polis Chrysochous was formally founded during the British colonial era and today, it is a thriving tourism destination, with a Blue Flag beach and the Golden Award for being among the Top 20 most sophisticated tourism destinations in Europe.
