Protaras is a family oriented resort situated on the east coast of Cyprus. It is about ten minutes away by car from Aiya Napa. Fortunately the sea has retained its glassy clarity and Protoras’ beaches are among the best on the island. Travel north and you’ll discover isolated coves bitten from the coastline, while eight kilometres to the south there’s the 24-hour party Mecca that is Ayia Napa.Sunbathing is usually at the top of most visitors’ agendas and hotels have come up with numerous ways of keeping the kids occupied.Protaras is popular with Cypriots and the beaches can get very busy and anyone wanting to ‘get away from it all’ should head south to Cape Greko. Besides ‘peace and quiet’ the rocky shoreline provides some great snorkelling and diving.
