This is one of the most beautiful areas in Cyprus, poised in its contrasts. Protaras means “to first see” and the reason is because in Protaras you can see the very first sunrise in the whole of Europe. It’s located in the southeast of Cyprus and is part of the administrative boundaries of the city of Paralimni. A modern city with extensive history and culture, with many public amenities, hospitals, shops, activities, cultural events and entertainment options, that also provides a great quality of life to its citizens.
The tourist resort of Protaras stretches along the eastern coast of Paralimni and is one of the most popular destinations in Europe. Unsurprisingly so, as it is an area that combines development and expansion with the beautiful natural environment and the one of a kind beaches with crystal clear waters.
This year 17 of Protaras’ beaches were awarded with a Blue Flag, whereas one of the most striking ones, the exotic Fig Tree Bay beach, is included among the best in Europe according to Trip Advisor. The seabed of Protaras holds its own unique magic and priceless treasures, such as the Liberty and Nemessis wrecks which are ideal for scuba diving.
The Pedestrian Street of Protaras, extending along most of the coastal front, allows visitors to exercise or walk right next to the gorgeous beaches, as well as the large bike paths of the area.
The landscape of Protaras is distinctive and one can discover it up close by walking along the nature trails, where the blue sea blends with the natural vegetation. By choosing the paths “Konnoi Trail – Cyclops Cave”, “Saints Anargyri” and “Phophet Elias – Konnoi” the visitor will not only discover the unspoiled nature but also the deep religious, Orthodox roots of the region. Amongst them the small church of Agioi Saranta that is located in a natural cave, offering unobstructed views of the magnificent landscape, and the chapel of Prophet Elias that is built on a steep rock. Prophet Elias is visible from the entire area, especially at night when it’s lit up, and the views are breathtaking.
The picturesque chapel of Agioi Anargyroi, located near the protected National Forest Park of Cape Greco, the small church of Agia Triada with the charming fishing haven and the chapel of Saint Nicolas, with the scenic fishing port of Agios Nicolaos in the background, promise to enchant the visitor.
Apart from the attractions and countless tourist accommodation choices, the Protaras area offers a broad range of entertainment options. The culinary map of the area is constantly enriched with new restaurants, whereas the bars and clubs of the region will offer you exactly what you’re looking for.
In Protaras one can find exactly what they need and that’s what makes it so unique. It combines tranquility and tradition, with the flair of a contemporary tourist resort, and it constitutes an ideal destination every season of the year. An area that makes you fall in love at first sight and once you visit it, you will realize why. Especially if you see the magical setting of the sunrise or sunset on one of its beaches.
