Protaras holidays – Super sandy beaches and intimate coves
Holidays in Protaras attract couples and families looking to enjoy the fabulous beaches of eastern Cyprus while remaining apart from the younger louder atmosphere at Ayia Napa, 9 miles to the south. Protaras holidays are based in a modern beach resort with around four miles of beaches and coves on the glorious east coast of Cyprus between Ayia Napa and Paralimni, less than an hour from Larnaca airport. Holidays in Protaras have proved consistently popular with British families looking for classic Cyprus beach holidays with plenty of facilities and entertainment and some of the best sandy beaches in Cyprus.
Protaras beach holidays – Fine white sand and beautifully calm water
Protaras holidays feature several excellent beaches with safe gently shelving fine white sand and calm clear water ideal for families with small children. The main Protaras beaches are at Pernera beach to the north, Fig Tree Bay to the south and Kepparris near Paralimni. For a quieter Protaras beach try the small coves on the rugged coastline to the north, or explore the isolated small coves on the unspoilt coastline towards the headland at Cape Greko. Both areas offer good snorkelling and diving. Protaras holidays can take advantage of the pleasant coast path that connects Protaras beach with Ayia Napa beach, passing sea caves, cliffs and ancient ruins. Protaras holidays provide visitors with an exceptional range of watersports, including paragliding, windsurfing, diving, snorkelling, jet-skis and waterskiing. Children on holiday in Protaras will enjoy the local water park and the much larger Water World at Apia Naya.
Holidays in Protaras - Family beach resort with plenty of entertainment
Protaras holidays offer a wide range of hotel accommodation and larger tourist “villages”. There is an ample choice of restaurants and tavernas, and plenty of shops, with a more genuinely Cypriot selection at nearby Paralimni. Although Protaras holidays are more family orientated than Ayia Napa they are certainly not lacking in lively nightlife, with no shortage of bars, pubs, discos and clubs for a predominantly British crowd. To experience Cyprus nightlife at its wildest take a bus or taxi to Ayia Napa. For a complete contrast to the beach resorts, Protaras holidays could include an excursion to the interesting capital Nicosia, and traditional villages like Liopetri, Sotira or Paralimni with their charming traditional tavernas. Another recommended Protaras holiday excursion is the full day trip to the Troodos Mountains with its gorgeous villages and refreshingly cool mountain air. Protaras holidays offer a good selection of boat trips and there are regular buses to Paralimni, Ayia Napa and Larnaca.
