Protaras Beaches

The eastern coast of Cyprus is renowned for its fantastic assortment of beaches considered by many to be the best on the entire island. From the famous and popular Fig Tree Bay to the more secluded stretches at Cape Greco and Pernera, the Protaras region is lined by glorious beaches, many of which have been awarded Blue Flag status for their outstanding water quality and public facilities.

An ideal place to avoid the summer crowds, Green Bay beach is located to the south of Protaras beach. While the bay has few facilities save for the obligatory sun loungers and parasols available to hire, it is as good a spot as any for a leisurely swim.

Our apartments in Protaras are situated right on sea front and are close by to Fig Tree Bay, the most popular beach in the area.

Apartments in Protaras

Situated on the east side of the Island, Protaras covers approximately 5km of the golden Famagusta Coastline and are a great location for our Coralli Spa Apartments in Protaras.

Protaras flourished into a charming tourist resort in the 1980s as a more sophisticated alternative to the buzzing and wild atmosphere of its neighbouring town; Agia Napa (located 5 miles west of Protaras).

Before becoming a tourist resort Protaras was essentially uninhabited; the area was mostly covered by a multitude of windmills, some of which still stand, adding to the character of the Protaras landscape. Artefacts uncovered during recent excavations dating back to the Greco-Roman era (58 BC - 395 AD) suggest the land where Protaras now exists may have been the ancient town of Lefkola, notable in those times for its hustling port.

Protaras became an idyllic holiday resort largely due to the beautiful sandy beaches in its vicinity. There are several excellent beaches, each developed to appeal to a particular type of holidaymaker. For instance, the main beach “Fig Tree Bay”, regarded as one of the most popular beaches on the island, offers a wide range of water-sports, while to the north of the coastline, the tranquil waters of Skoutari Beach, make for great snorkelling.

Our apartments in Protaras, Coralli Spa, can be found just 10 minutes walk from the town centre so are well placed for holiday apartment rentals in Protaras.
