Protaras is a charming coastal resort in eastern Cyprus, loved for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning beaches. Fig Tree Bay, with its soft sands and turquoise waters, is the jewel of the area and often ranked among Europe’s best beaches.
The calm, shallow sea makes it perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports, while the scenic coastal pathways invite long walks with beautiful Mediterranean views. Families and couples alike enjoy Protaras for its welcoming vibe, wide choice of restaurants, and small, friendly tavernas serving traditional Cypriot cuisine.
Away from the beach, Protaras offers plenty of variety, from exploring the nearby Cape Greco National Park with its dramatic cliffs and sea caves, to enjoying boat trips across the coastline.
The resort has a more laid-back pace compared to neighbouring Ayia Napa, making it ideal for those who want to combine relaxation with gentle adventure. With a good mix of modern hotels, family-run apartments, and luxury resorts, Protaras is a destination that blends natural beauty with warm hospitality, ensuring a memorable Cyprus holiday for every traveller.
