In Cyprus there is a small resort where lovers to spend the summer in a romantic, elite and beautiful way will find the perfect place. This is Protaras. The village is not very far from the noisy and fun Ayia Napa. Fans of "hang out", and at the same time sleep soundly at night, will be very pleased with this location. In addition, there are beautiful beaches with a sandy entrance and secluded beautiful coves in the rocks - what Cyprus is famous for. Protaras, whose sights are, first of all, the wonders of nature, will be very popular with those who love beautiful landscapes. In addition, here you can not find cozy little hotels and apartments, convenient for families with children and romantic couples.
Cyprus, Protaras. Coastal Attractions
They say that a couple of dozen years ago, fig trees grew in these places, goats grazed. But the development of the tourist infrastructure of the island did its job. Although the old fig groves are still preserved. And a significant role in all this was played by the unique climate of the village. The rugged rocky coast practically minimized windy weather. Therefore, it is warm even in winter - the temperature of water and air does not fall below 16 degrees in the coldest months.
But in order to admire the stunning views, you need to come here in the spring. Cyprus is so good at this time! Protaras (the sights of the town is, incidentally, coastal bushes and trees) is simply transformed into flowering. Lovers and ... pelicans walk here, enjoying the cliffs and the sea. Therefore, the most beautiful place in this town is the promenade. And after a walk, breathing fresh air, you always want to eat something tasty. Here, at your service there are cafes and taverns where you can try local dishes or just refresh yourself with frappe.
Cyprus, Protaras. Sights of the city and surroundings
If you are reluctant to take a taxi or minibus to Ayia Napa in the evenings, you can see the singing fountain in the center of the town. In the afternoon, visit the local aquarium. Then just walk along the streets, look at souvenir shops and feel the real oriental relaxation. After that, you can walk around the surrounding area. Here at Cape Greco even from afar you can see fancy towers, walls and dungeons. Do you think these are castles and fortifications? Perhaps, but created not by a human hand, but by waves. Here, after all, everything belongs to the gods - the island of Cyprus, Protaras, sights ... The reviews of those who visited this cape claim that such strange structures simply could not be created by the surf. But this is really a game of nature. However, people have built here, strange, in harmony with the environment, fabulous mills. In fact, their purpose is quite prosaic, but these white windmills on the plain create a sense of something unearthly and unrealistic among tourists. And the church of St. Elijah, which stands on a high cliff above the town, complements this impression. From here you can see the whole resort of Protaras (Cyprus), whose magical panorama is especially beautiful at sunset. For souvenirs, it’s better to go where they are made. For example, in the village of Liopetri, known for its crafts, especially wickerwork.
