Protaras
Being a small tourist area with so much variety, it makes for the ideal holiday for couples and families. Protaras is known as the land of windmills, going back to the days when this was a farming area. Now it offers an amazing tourist area in a horseshoe shape, with over 300 establishments ranging from pubs, bars, cafes, jewelry shops and restaurants to taverns and much more.
However, it is most famous for its beaches, which stretch over 10miles. Along the way you may be tempted to try the wide range of water sports on offer. It’s the perfect location for Scuba diving; whether you want something beautiful like sunfish reef or something a bit more historic like the WW1 shipwreck, there are many secluded lagoons to explore.
The views from Profit Elias Church, situated on a hill top overlooking Protaras, will never fail to take your breath away and in July the two day festival takes over with small stalls and cafes set up, giving a perfect opportunity to try traditional foods. In close proximity is also the old Cypriot village of Paralimni, where traditional cafes, shops and churches mingle with today’s modern society. |
