Go camping
There is a campsite by the beach at Polis (just follow signs for the beach) which makes a nice getaway from the ultra-touristy areas of Cyprus. There isn't much to do and it gets crowded at the weekend with holidaying locals but the beach is pleasant and it's a good base to go walking in the Akamas Peninsula. I didn't actually stay here but I would far rather have, it certainly beat the hotel where I was - no strip club and no building site!

Akamas Peninsular
This ex UK army firing range provides and area free of the building they seem to be chucking up all over the islands at a rapid rate.
About a mile past Laatchi from Polis turn off to follow the coast to the car park at Aphrodite.
The Aphrodite cave is worth a quick look (its free), swimming around Aphrodite rock is quite pleasant and there's a decent cafe to sit an enjoy the coastal view. From there I'd suggest you either walk or cycle along the coastal path unless you are a serious off-roader. Make sure you take plenty of water as there is nothing beyond this point other than some great coves to swim. (An alternative is to catch or hire a boat from Latchi).
An alternative to turning off along the coastal road is to continue on the road inland and the track it turns into which is driveable to a large picnic area in the woods from where there are a number of roads for the off-roaders as well as footpaths to walk round.
