Hotels in Protaras – Ayia Napa’s quieter cousin!

If you’d rather steer clear of Ayia Napa’s frantic pace, go for Protaras. It is only ten minutes way but much calmer and you’ll find hotels in Protaras to suit every budget. Protaras sits between Cape Greco and Paralimni, on the gorgeous Fig Tree Bay’s 10+ miles of golden beaches. The four star Capo Bay Hotel is billed as an elegant hideaway and they’re not wrong. As hotels in Protaras go, this one’s hard to beat. Partly because Fig Tree Bay beach is so, so lovely. Even though this is a luxurious place, you’ll feel at home.

Protaras Hotels – Walk, cycle and bike the coast

Protaras hotels along the main coastal road give you access to some great walking, cycling and motorbiking. Between the resort and Paralimni then on into Ayia Napa, about 10 miles away, there’s a really good pedestrian route. Imagine staying at hotels in Protaras, being able to walk home from Iyia Napa on a hot night. Take all night if you want, but it should take you about three hours at normal speed! The 2 star Chrystalla Hotel has breathtaking views over Fig Tree Bay and it is really close to the beach. You’ll be given a traditional warm Cypriot welcome – they really are very friendly. Stay here for a Protaras hotel with traditional Cypriot hospitality.

Hotels in Protaras – Wildeness, golf and water sports

Most hotels in Protaras are close enough for rock and roll to a decent golf course if you’re into it. You can also ride horses, shoot things (if you must), play beach volleyball, exhaust yourself with Squash and even go bowling. I’m knackered already just thinking about it. The Narcissos Hotel is an elegant 3 star Protaras hotel offering spotless studios and apartments. Quiet and low key, you’ll find it between Cape Greco and Paralimni. Many hotels in Protaras have lovely gardens and this one’s no exception, complete with eccentric but pretty fountains in the pool.

Book your flights to Protaras in the summer season, or you’ll be stuffed… this is a resort, pure and simple. Fiercely hot in the peak season, averaging 33C in August the place shuts down Between November and April, becoming a ghost town.

There are loads of places to buy all your basic beach stuff; beach balls and games and swimming gear and buckets and spades and the like. But the shopping’s much better at nearby Paralimni. Flights to Protaras give you the opportunity to explore Larnaca itself, well worth a visit before you trot off to your hotel.

They’re working hard at the moment building a new terminal at Larnaca airport, due to be finished in 2013. So flights to Protaras are due to become an easier, smoother and more luxurious experience before long. Protaras itself is history-free and as bland as a bland thing, with nothing much to see in the area other than sand, sea and hotels. But if you’re a beach holiday purist, determined to remain horizontal on the sand throughout the daylight hours, history won’t matter a stuff. Flights to Protaras equals flights to a holiday resort, full stop. If you get desperate for something a bit different, nearby Paralimni has some cool shops and proper Cypriot tavernas for a faint taste of authentic Cyprus.
