Ayia Napa & Protaras

With its superb golden sandy beaches, this area has become homeland to the sun seekers. But this part of the island traditionally remains the market garden of Cyprus, with the well-known Cyprus potato being the prominent crop. Ayia Napa, once a small fishing village, boasts a superb Venetian decorated monastery with a central octagonal fountain.

The focal point of the resort is the small harbor, where the tavernas specialise in fresh fish harvested by the colorful fishing vessels. Cape Greko, on the very tip, has its own share of beaches and coves. With its contrasting rugged countryside, the dramatic fiery glow of sunsets from this spot is unique.

Protaras is the tourist resort of Paralimni, in the South East of Cyprus within the Famugusta area. Protaras has built a deserving reputation for its windmills and glorious beaches.
