Protaras

The main claim to fame of Protaras is that it’s very much geared towards the family holiday makers. It’s not varied like Paphos or impressive like Nicosia, but it has the most beautiful beach in Cyprus and is definitely a place to spend a week or two relaxing with your family, spending some quality time with your children.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Cyprus, Fig Tree Bay is a stretch of sun, sea and sand so clear, clean and blue you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the Caribbean. While your kids are building sand castles to their hearts’ content, you could catch up on your sun worshipping or even go for long walks to clear your body and mind.
Work off the stresses of your daily life with the plethora of watersports found on the beach, and then treat the family to a lovely fresh meal at the Fig Tree Bay Taverna.

If you’re up for a bit of action, then you really need to brave the walk and go to Cape Greco. From the sea cliffs with their sparkling waters to the beautiful indigenous fauna, this wildly beautiful area is great for some “me” time.

Prepare to be captivated by a spectacular sunset from the top of the hill on the Protaras Road, where you will find Ayios Elias Church. It takes a hundred steps to get up the hill, but once you’ve braved the climb, you will find one of the most breathtaking views in Cyprus. Try and go close to sunset, just to see the amazing colours of the sun as it makes its dazzling descent.
