Top Protaras Art & Culture

Get off the typical tourist trail, and delve into Cyprus’ rich and complex history, on this full-day tour from Protaras. After pickup from your accommodation, head to Famagusta, known for its 15th-century Venetian walls. Enjoy free sightseeing time, or join an optional excursion to the Monastery of St. Barnabus and the ancient ruins of Salamis. Then, see another side of Famagusta when you view its fenced-off area of Varosha—uninhabited since the Turkish invasion.

Spend a day exploring the historic side of Cyprus, with this coach excursion from Protaras. You'll visit all sorts of ancient Greek sites, including the House of Eustolios in Kourion and the House of Dionysos in Paphos, both known for their beautifully preserved mosaics. You'll also get a chance to stop in the village of Yeroskipou known for its traditional sweets as well as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.  

Explore some of the prettiest mountain villages in Cyprus with this excursion up into the Troodos Range. You'll get to stop at the charming Kakopetria Village before heading on to Throni, where the tomb of the locally beloved Archbishop Makarios III is located. You'll then make your way up to Kykkos Monastery, known for its stunning icons and beautiful mountain surroundings.

The experience presents the traveller with two very authentic attractions in rural, semi-mountainous Cyprus. Both are highly recommended for those who want to experience the island's rich cultural heritage. The short walk next to the stream in Kakopetria adds a small natural component to the trip.

Play pirate for the day with this swashbuckling-themed day cruise aboard the Black Pearl Pirate Boat. You'll depart from the Ayia Napa Harbour and cruise along the Famagusta Coast, with lots of stops to swim in the Mediterranean. Along with pirate-themed on-board entertainment, a buffet lunch will be served right on the boat.

The trip includes some of the most important cultural attractions in Cyprus. Furthermore depending on the option selected, if we have time (and depending on travellers' preferences) we may also visit other important cultural heritage sites in the area (eg Panagia Angeloktisti church in Kiti village) or even do some wine tasting in a winery near Pano Lefkara village.

Enjoy a day away from the beach and instead soak up the amazing culture and history that Cyprus has to offer. This tour will visit the Roman city of Kourion - a 2,000 year old archaeological site which is constantly being excavated. After lunch at a local taverna, we will go slightly off the beaten track to the Neolithic site of Choirokoitia. Occupied from the 7th to the 4th millennium B.C. it is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the eastern Mediterranean and a Unesco heritage site. This tour can be adapted to suit you. We cater only for private groups for a personal experience. Pickup and drop-off times can also be flexible.

This coastal walk connects Konnos beach at the northern tip of Cape Greko park with Glyky Nero beach in Ayia Napa. The route is 10 km long on the rocky coast. Cape Greko park is a small park between the bustling beach resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras. The itinerary (a possible stretch of it is on Aphrodite trail) goes by major attractions in the area including the group of sea caves in Agia Napa, the group of sea caves of Cape Greko (known as Palathkia 'ie Palaces), as well as Ammos Tou Kambouri beach, Kermia beach, Kamara tou Koraka natural arch and Agioi Anargyroi chapel (and adjacent cave). Cape Greko park is a good destination also for birdwatchers, especially during spring migration. The waters are usually very calm on the east side. In the hot season sea turtles visit the area to feed. In older times the Mediterranean monk seal was also around - now a few individuals are spotted here sporadically.
