Things to do in Protaras

CHURCH OF ST. ELIAS
Built in the 80s, St. Elias roosts atop a 100-metre hill that you can scale via a 150-step stairway. It’s not a challenge to take lightly, especially in the summertime, but once you get to the top you’ll know what the fuss is about.

CAPE GRECO
The whole southeastern tip of Cyprus is a natural park and one of the island’s great beauty spots. You can tackle the cape on land or by water, and both methods will get you close to the cinematic scenery.

THE DANCING FOUNTAINS
This is one of Protaras’ special features that is well known even outside of Cyprus. The show is made up of about 20 thousand illuminated water jets that whimsically weave through the air, and soar to heights of 12m as they dance to music. It attracts a huge audience every year.

THE OCEAN AQUARIUM
Open since August 1, 1999, the Ocean Aquarium is on the main road from central Protaras. It has a conveniently located large car park nearby. There are more than 1000 species of various marine and coastal wildlife.

DIVING
From March to November, Cyprus has a dive season longer than anywhere else in Europe. This is down to the island’s latitude, which grants it comfortably warm waters for much of the year.

PARKO PALIATSO FUNFAIR AND  LUNA PARK
Depending on your disposition one look at Parko Paliatso’s world-famous slingshot will set your heart racing or send shivers down your spine.

FIG TRTEE BAY WATER SPORTS

FLYBOARD CYPRUS
Flyboard Cyprus is located on the coast between Ayia Napa and Protaras. Flyboarding is a relatively new type of extreme sport, in which a rider stands on a board that is propelled to fly by the force of water.
