Ayia Napa:

Ayia Napa renowned for its spectacular nightlife, located on the east coast of the Island, has fine sandy beaches with crystal clear turquoise sea, the resort offers plenty of exciting activities for families. Various water sports, including waterskiing, jet skiing, paragliding and scuba –diving are on offer at beaches in and around the town, and boat trips around Cape Greko peninsula and north towards Famagusta leave from the marina. For the children a visit to the Water world water park and EMW Go-Karts make good breaks from the beach. Just along the coast from Ayia Napa are some of the most beautiful beaches found on the island with their fine white sand and turquoise blue waters.

But Ayia Napa is also home to significant history, including the Ayia Napa Monastery (dedicated to the Virgin Mary), which is its archaeological landmark.

Cape Greko is another distinctive part of Ayia Napa, an area of extreme beauty, with secluded coves, diving and snorkeling are highly popular activities in this area due to a number of ships being foundered just off Cape Greko over the past centuries.

Protaras:

Located to the north of Cape Greko and close to the principal town of the area, Paralimni, Protaras is just 15 minutes drive from Ayia Napa. A relaxed resort ideal for families, couples and singles of all ages, Protaras with its superb crystal clear waters and fine sandy beaches provides an idyllic holiday setting. Its beaches are probably the finest in Cyprus, and include the famous Fig Tree bay, whilst nearby Cape Greko offers superb snorkeling and scuba diving.

Overlooking the resort is the elegant Ayios Elias church, beautifully lit up at the night and the surrounding countryside is scattered with windmills which were once used to tap underground fresh water reserves for irrigating the citrus groves. Protaras beach is a European blue flag beach and located 55 kilometres from Larnaka and the airport.
