Shallow, turquoise seas ideal for swimming and water activities.
Stay in Protaras
Where clear waters, soft light, and easy island living come together.
Protaras is a coastal destination on the south eastern edge of Cyprus, known for its clear turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and relaxed seaside rhythm. Part of the wider Paralimni area, it combines the energy of a well developed resort with moments of calm, nature, and local character, offering a balanced setting for beach focused stays with easy access to culture, walking routes, and everyday amenities.
A Coastline Defined by Beaches
Protaras stretches along a gently curving coastline from Pernera to Konnos, with beaches known for their clarity, calm waters, and golden sand. Many hold Blue Flag status, reflecting high standards of cleanliness and accessibility. The shoreline is ideal for swimming, family beach days, and unhurried time by the sea.
Landmarks and Local Character
Beyond the beach, Protaras is shaped by small landmarks that define its identity, from the hilltop chapel of Profitis Elias with panoramic views, to the fishing shelters and coastal paths of Pernera. Nearby Paralimni adds depth with traditional churches, museums, and everyday village life just minutes inland.
Active Days, Easy Evenings
Days in Protaras can be as active or relaxed as you choose. Water sports, coastal walks, cycling routes, and boat trips sit alongside cafés, tavernas, and evening strolls along the promenade. Nights are lively but approachable, with restaurants, bars, and gentle nightlife rather than large scale clubbing.
