Holidays to Protaras
Why Protaras?
If you’re longing for a holiday spent lounging in the Cypriot sunshine, this eastern Cyprus resort town is known globally for its amazing beaches could be the one. The golden vanilla sands and green-blue seas are an irresistible combo, and your holiday in Protaras is perfectly placed to provide utterly Instagrammable vistas, utterly memorable adrenaline-fueled adventures, and utterly IDEAL conditions for enjoying some ocean-adjacent R&R.
Spend a day horseback riding on the surrounding nature trails and exploring the hillside on this wonderfully relaxing and peaceful part of the island. Hop off your horse and head for a bistro with a sea view to watch the sun setting over the ocean with a sweet, rich coffee in hand. Take a night-time stroll along the soft, powdery sands of Fig Tree Bay (making sure you snap a shot of that single fig tree!).
Balance pleasantly melting in the baking-hot Cyprus sun with dips in the warm and refreshing emerald waters to cool off – but not too much! The Mediterranean Sea has you covered year-round with an average temp of 21–22 degrees that reaches peaks of 28 in August and only dips as low as 17 in February.
Though Protaras holidays are spent far from the bustling, busy streets of a destination like Ayia Napa, there’s still plenty of buzzing nightlife and evening activity to get up to in the resort town. Chow down on a scrumptious seafood mezze platter and then head to a beach bar for a night spent dancing with your toes in the sand and a brandy sour in your hand.

Things to Do
Whether you're looking for a beach getaway or city break, Protaras has something to offer every discerning traveller
Louma Beach
Louma Beach is 100% the best of both worlds. Not only is the specially created bay THE place to enjoy calm seas and soft, cooling breezes (making it perfect for relaxation and sunbaking) – it’s also home to some amazing watersports facilities sure to awaken your inner thrill-seeker.
Kapparis Beach
Searching for a sunbathing beach that doesn’t leave you fighting for a spot? Found north of Protaras, Kapparis Beach is a somewhat-tourist-sheltered gem. The sweeping sands, jade waters, and Cyprus sunshine will have you snoozing peacefully (in your ideal spot) in no time.
Church of Profitis Elias
Yes, this Church IS 300 steps up. But we aren’t lying when we say it’s worth all your energy and breath to check out those unbeatable panoramic views. Visit in the evening, and you’ll see the church, backlit by a warm orange glow and enjoy the fading light of a truly magnificent sunset.
Famagusta
From Protaras, you can day trip to Famagusta. Once there, you’ll find plenty to explore and see, including architecturally stunning buildings in gothic styles. Earn your ice cream and hit your step goal for the day exploring Othello Castle, which supposedly inspired Shakespeare’s play.
Discovery-Filled Dives
Head off the deep end, we’ll watch as you dive in (you’ll be far from the shallow now...). Cyprus enjoys one of the longest diving seasons in Europe, so visit Protaras from March to November, and you’ll be able to sink into the warm waters and discover an abundance of exciting sea life!
Parko Paliatso Luna Park
If you’re tired of lounging by the emerald ocean and looking to change it up for an afternoon, get your adrenaline flowing with a trip to Parko Paliatso. This amusement park is home to many rides, games, and stalls (including Sling Shot, one of the highest ejection seat rides in Europe).
Sweet Cypriot Coffee
Love a cup of coffee? Then you can’t miss the uniquely sweet traditional kind that Cypriots have perfected over the years. Powerful, syrup-like, and strong, a cup or two is sure to blast away even the worst hangover of your life and refill your energy reserves in no time.
Meze Madness
While you’re staying in Protaras, don’t miss the chance to go wild with a huge selection of meze plates. Sink your teeth into everything, from deliciously salty olives and soft focaccia to perfectly grilled vegetables and strips of squeaky halloumi cheese, and pair it all with a crisp white wine.
Stonehenge Cocktail Bar
Fed up with the queues for Stonehenge in England? No probs! Hop over the ocean and check out Stonehenge Cocktail Bar, named for its rocky exterior. We’re kidding… kinda. Unlike THAT Stonehenge, this one serves cocktails and boasts a relaxed, sophisticated vibe. No competition.
The Ranch Bar
Say YEEHAW to The Ranch Bar! From the outside, it looks like something out of the Wild West, but from the inside, it's an all-Vegas stage show. Iconic, right? Tons of talented musicians and tribute acts perform here, making it a great place to dance, party, and sink KEO beers allll night.
