The many beaches of Protaras and the surrounding area make this region a very attractive one, and it offers yet more natural beauty at the nearby Cape Greco National Park. This beautiful area’s sea caves and Blue Lagoon are among the things you really need to see if you are visiting for the first time.
A short drive away, Ayia Napa, has an appealing mix of historic sights, nightlife and family attractions. Children will love WaterWorld and the Parko Paliatso amusement park, while the cultural highlights include the ancient Makronissos Tombs and the sea-themed Thalassa Museum.
Offering stunning beaches, forests, theme parks and world-class nightlife, south-eastern Cyprus has something for all tastes. With highlights such as the Cape Greco Peninsula and Blue Lagoon, it’s a beautiful region that’s well worth exploring.
Just south of Protaras, Cape Greco attracts water-sports lovers with snorkelling, off-boat swimming and cliff diving among their pursuits of choice. The sea caves and the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon create a dramatic setting that draws many visitors. The Cape Greco National Park is also good for hiking, with its pine forests and rugged countryside giving it lots of variety.
Many more wonderful beaches line the coast, such as Pernera, Kalamies and Konnos Beach. You will often have the chance to try water-sports like scuba-diving and jet-skiing, and many offer well-organised areas for sunbathing and relaxing. Fig Tree Bay is perhaps the most famous of them all, previously voted one of Europe’s best beaches.
Protaras offers all sorts of activities and tours to visitors. You can join organised food or wine tours and try the region’s best delicacies, or hop onboard a boat and explore the sea caves. There are also numerous places to eat, drink and shop, so the resort really has everything you’re likely to need during your stay.
About 35 minutes’ drive from Protaras, the CyHerbia Botanical Park’s beautiful, fragrant gardens and maze are one of the area’s big highlights. In summer, the park hosts a popular Lavender Festival which looks and smells terrific, and there are several other big events staged throughout the year. It’s such a photogenic place, it’s also very popular for photo shoots – if you fancy getting some special pics, this is the place to go.
There are many more interesting things to see around the region. In Larnaca, you will find the calming Salt Lake, an important area of wetland which hosts flamingos and many other birds. A marina, medieval fort and the Church of Saint Lazarus are among this large city’s other highlights, while the nearby Camel Park makes for a fun day out.
Ayia Napa has lots more that will prove popular with kids, with amusement parks, a water-park, casual dining restaurants and sea-faring adventures on its pirate ship and Yellow Submarine. It also offers up some historic sights, like its 16th-century monastery and the 19 ancient Makronissos Tombs. Other points of cultural interest include Ayia Napa’s impressive ocean-facing Sculpture Park.
About an hour’s drive from Protaras, Famagusta is known for its ‘ghost town’ area, Varosha – uninhabited and closed off since 1974 following an invasion by the Turks. Parts of this once-glamorous area are decaying, while some are said to be frozen in time. You’re not allowed in, but you can look from a distance, and many people make the trip to do so
