Protaras is one of the most popular beach vacation destinations in Cyprus, and it has the lodging options to prove it. Essentially linked to the nearby resort town of Pernera, Protaras is just ten minutes from the Cypriot party capital of Agia Napa.
You’ll find the lively bars and restaurants right on the main street and when you feel like partying, the clubs and bars of Ayia Napa are just a 10-minute taxi or bus-ride away. When the sun comes up, the beaches on this part of the coast are considered to be the island’s best. Protaras, as is true of Pernera, is more low key and family-friendly than Agia Napa, so families might prefer it when looking to get away from it all on Cyprus's sunny east coast.
