Protaras

Protaras sits on the eastern tip of the island of Cyprus near to Ayia Napa and is different to many resorts having been developed specifically to cater for the tourist industry.

It’s a fantastic option for anyone wanting to enjoy a HOT Holiday in the sun, with the warm Mediterranean climate providing plenty of opportunities to top up your tan under bright sunshine and clear blue skies.

Truth be told, there isn’t really a bad time of year to visit Protaras, although it follows that peak season provides the best of the weather conditions.

Visit in the middle of summer and you can expect to be greeted by temperatures that will run into the 30s, whilst there is little chance of rain.

Those chances increase through the winter months but even then, the mild temperatures will be much more appealing than the freezing conditions you are likely to encounter back home.

As a man made resort, you shouldn’t be surprised that Protaras ticks many of the boxes when it comes to what you would want from a holiday resort.

There’s an impressive beach where you can not only lie back on golden sands, but can also sample a range of watersports or even take a swim out to a small island that is located just off the coast.

Within walking distance, there are numerous other options if you want a more secluded stretch of sand away from the crowds; some of which are given a Blue Flag rating to reflect their high quality.

Away from the beach, there are numerous bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a relaxing drink or grab a bite to eat – many of which are located around the main street of the resort.

Evenings tend to be more towards the relaxed end of the scale, which is ideal for those with the family in tow, but anyone who wants more in the way of action can take the short trip to Ayia Napa where they can party until the early hours.
