We're going to Paphos in August and will be hiring a car for five days. We're planning on doing one day Nicosia, one day Limassol and the wider area, one day Polis and whatever else we find on the way and one day to the Troodos Mountains, which leaves one day to have a look at the villages around Paphos. Does this seem a good plan, or does anyone have any tips for something we might have missed? Also what are the best places to visit in the Troodos Mountains.
Thanks in advance for any tips, also for things to do in and around Paphos on the days we don't have the car (we're staying for 2 weeks at the Aliathon).

Type VIKLARI into google images for a look at the restaurant and its views.
On your Troodos trip carry on over the other side of the mountain to Kakopetria.

And if you go to Latchi and Polis, have lunch at Y&P's Seafood Taverna - probably the best in Cyprus and very reasonably priced too.
If you go onto the Akamas to get to Lara Bay and Viklari you ARE insured as you're using graded roads (ie dirt tracks, but they still class then as roads and they're also on maps).
If you have a free hour or two visit the market in Paphos, buy some bargains and have a pint of orange juice, squeezed before your eyes.

I always love a good market, when is the market on and how do you get to it from Limassol.
They sell leather goods, jewellery, ceramics, etc. etc as well as local farmers fruit and vegetables.
I alsways go there to stock up on things like herbs and spices, some of which are really cheap, like Saffron (costs a couple of quid in the UK for half a dozen strands whereas I'm only half way through the huge jar I bought in Paphos a couple of years ago)
I'm sure you'll find an equivalent in Limassol
