There are interesting excursions in Protaras area itself. You can visit the Magic Dancing Waters. Children and parents as well will be enthralled by this one-hour rainbow-like show of illuminated fountains that seem to make the water dance and change colour to classical and pop music. You can book in advance from the tourist office to secure a seat.
An excursion in Protaras can take you to the welcoming commercial Ascott Pottery where you and your children can try their hand at turning clay on a potter's wheel. You can also buy their cheerfully coloured plates, bowls, cups and jugs.
Ayios Elias Orthodox church on the hill in Protaras offers superb views of Protaras and the surrounding area. There is a tree of remembrance at the top. The best time to walk up there is either first thing on a morning or late afternoon when you can catch a spectacular sunset over the region.
You can always climb up the hills from the beach and follow the coastal path along to Cape Greco from where you have a fantastic view.
Excursions in Protaras may take you on a boat trip along the coast line. You can pass the sea caves, Capo Greco and up to the Green Line area. From there you can have an offshore view of the ghost town of Famagusta now under Turkish occupation.
Another similar excursion in Protaras is a land and sea safari where you can also visit the mysterious ghost town of Famagusta and marvel at the archaeological sites and the old town of Salamis. You will return to Protaras on Raptor boat by sea.
You can visit Liopetri Village where you can catch a glimpse of the skilful craft of basket making by the locals.
Another excursion in Protaras is to take a magical voyage through the lakes, oceans and rivers of the world at the Ocean Aquarium in Protaras and try spotting the 400 different species of marine life that thrive here.
