Beaches
Beaches in Protaras are considered the best on Cyprus, you can easily find isolated little coves and superb sandy beaches such as Fig Tree or Flamingo Beach. You can also travel a few kilometres south and arrive at the beach party resort of Ayia Napa. The warm Mediterranean waters that lap the sandy sun drenched beaches make this the perfect area for relaxing. Green Bay Beach is a perfect spot if you prefer to sunbathe away from the crowds.
Watersports
Watersports in Protaras are well catered for. The warm, turquoise waters are perfect for snorkelling, swimming and relaxing on pedalos. If you enjoy more active sports such as paragliding and water-skiing then you won't be disappointed. For a more secluded area, head to the rocky coastline of Cape Greko where diving and snorkelling are very popular.
Nightlife
Protaras is a family friendly area but this does not stop it becoming a veritable party town when the night draws in. The nightlife in Protaras is probably second only to Ayia Napa with plenty of bars and nightclubs. Protaras is more spread out than Ayia Napa so there is plenty of breathing space should you fancy a quiet night.
Hiking
There are a number of scenic trails in Protaras. Hiking in Protaras along the coastal path is not too taxing and you will pass some impressive cliffs, sea caves and historic Roman ruins. The views along the coastal path are stunning and even a half-day exploring this route is well worth the time.
Boating
There are plenty of companies in Protaras that hire out boats and it is the perfect way to visit deserted coves and secluded beaches. If you fancy skimming across the glass like waters then you can hire a speedboat for a short trip or longer. You can also take a trip on one of the many glass-bottomed boats in the area; perfect for seeing all the underwater action.
