Protaras Holiday Guide

In Cyprus, you’ll find the friendly holiday resort of Protaras located on the south-east coast a short distance from mainland Turkey, but only a few miles from the livelier hot-spot town of Aya Napa. Protaras is a family-friendly small town resort that’s grown considerably over recent years, with lots of apartments and villas in Protaras for rent. It’s also home to beautiful Fig Tree Bay, known as the best beach on the island. This popular Blue Flag beach provides sun worshippers with nearly 10 miles of golden sand which shelves gently into the Mediterranean’s clear blue sea. Along the coast you’ll find plenty of secluded bays and coves, either for your privacy or just to explore.

The town of Protaras, originally built to cater for the British seeking Protaras holiday rentals, is close to the village of Paralimni. Tourists are well served in the area, with restaurants offering good choices of Cypriot-style food and, for those who enjoy fish, there’s a cluster of open-air seafood restaurants – there’s a few good shops and a reasonable selection of bars and nightclubs too.

Away from the self-catering holiday apartments in Protaras the region offers a choice of supermarkets for purchase of daily produce, with other retailers providing beach toys and equipment and other more useful items. For Tax-Free shopping, it’s best to visit nearby Aya Napia, where you’ll find numerous outlets selling designer goods at discounted prices.

Local operators offer day trips, sea cruises and excursions to the Troodos Mountains or to the city of Nicosia. Alternatively, renting a car in Cyprus is simple, with right hand drive cars, you’d be driving on the left the same as the UK. Many cars have air-conditioning as standard too.

The best time to visit Protaras is either in April and May, or September and October. It does get extremely hot in July and August so it’s best to be well prepared. You can fly from a number of UK airports that take around 4 hours to Cyprus-with a transfer or drive time to the resort of about 1 hour.
