Protaras Tourist Destination is billed as a predominantly ‘family-orientated’ destination. Hotels have come up with numerous ways of keeping the kids occupied while parents relax in the sun.
Protaras Tourist Destination offers you lots of opportunities to give variety to your holidays. If you’re beginning to get beach inertia you’ll find the entire spectrum of water sports to choose from, as well as a variety of pursuits such as paragliding and water-skiing. A bit further south you find ‘peace and quiet’ along the rocky shoreline that also provides some great snorkeling and diving. If you want to go for a good walk there’s an attractive coastal path running all the way form Protaras to Ayia Napa which takes in some impressive cliffs, sea caves and a number of Roman ruins.
