Protaras

Situated on the east side of the Island, Protaras covers approximately 5km of the golden Famagusta Coastline.

Protaras flourished into a charming tourist resort in the 1980s as a more sophisticated alternative to the buzzing and wild atmosphere of its neighbouring town; Agia Napa (located 5 miles west of Protaras).

Before becoming a tourist resort Protaras was essentially uninhabited; the area was mostly covered by a multitude of windmills, some of which still stand, adding to the character of the Protaras landscape. Artefacts uncovered during recent excavations dating back to the Greco-Roman era (58 BC - 395 AD) suggest the land where Protaras now exists may have been the ancient town of Lefkola, notable in those times for its hustling port.

Pernera

Situated on the northern outskirts of Protaras, Pernera is a small coastal resort popular with couples and families seeking a holiday destination away from the hustle and bustle of Ayia Napa and Protaras. Ideal for beach holidays, Pernera is less than 1km from three small sandy beaches that are quieter and less crowded than their shoreline counterparts in Protaras.

Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa is located on the coast of south eastern Cyprus, south of Famagusta, near Cape Greco. The oldest building in the town is the Ayia Napa monastery which was built by the Venetians around 1500 and remains in a good condition along with its famous fig tree which is believed to be older than the Monastery itself.
