Things to do in Protaras: Pernera and Protaras are by far the most popular destinations in Cyprus. They are renowned for their lovely beaches and clear azure seas. The town is situated on the narrow coastal plain that stretches from Cape Greko up to the east regional town of Paralimni. The location is probably the site of the ancient city-port Lefkolla where a multitude of Greko-Roman artefacts have been found.
The area is quieter than Agai Napa, there are plenty of quality restaurants, shops and bars. Large, shallow, sandy beaches boasting amenities such as water sports and on-beach cafes and restaurants provide for an Mediterranean experience in the small town of Pernera Bay. The coastal roads originating from Protaras offers excellent pedestrian/cycle route which provides easy access to beaches in this area.
Attractions: Must sees while visiting Protaras:
The Prophet Elias Church is a must see when visiting Protaras since it is well renowned for its spectacular views. It is a small chapel built on a rocky outcrop. The church was recently rebuilt in 1984, but was erected on the foundations of a much older ruin. There are 153 steps up the hill, but it is well worth it!
There are two small fishing havens, one at Pernera and the other closer to Paralimni. These are protected by limestone breakwaters and are home to small fleets of brightly coloured fishing boats.
The rocky coastline of Agia Napa consists of a series of small headlands and semicircular inlets up to Cape Greko, about 4 miles from the town. The area is a designated National Forest Reserve and there are several interesting nature trails and a picnic site in the area. The natural vegetation of the Cape consists of wild thyme, carob trees, juniper, and thorny gorse.
The views are incredibly impressive, as are the rock formations and marine terraces of the Cape. The Cape is home to the ruins of the temple (dedicated to the Goddess of love, Aphrodite).
The Palaces (original rock formation sculpted by the sea over a long period of time) offers an excellent location for swimmers. It is a spectacular diving location. Swimmers can dive off the rocks into the crystal clear water.
