Attractions

The Top 5 Spots of the area – the most attractive spots for picture taking.
How to get there and what is there to enjoy.

Cape Greco / climbing to the peak..
This gigantic rock was said to be the result of several earthquakes back in the centuries which created a violent congregation of solid rocks together, and eventually formed what we call today Cape Greco. This amazing landscape sits in a peaceful set up near Protaras, leading its highest peak towards Agia Napa in the height of 150meters from the sea.

For most of the visitors is a thrilling experience to walk through the walking ways to the top, where you can enjoy the magnificent sunsets. The spot is located between Protaras and Agia Napa near the coast.

Tips: the most adventurous people can enjoy the sunrise at around 05:15 in the morning during the summer time. It’s one of the most attractive experiences you can enjoy in that area. A good suggestion will be to take your partner along. You definitely need someone to share such grateful moments.

Agioi Anargyroi / a white mosaic placed in the Mediterranean blue.
This stunning location has challenged many photographers to zoom and dim their lenses in an effort to transform the beauties of this setting into the photographic paper. During the early 80’s of the past century, the Christian Orthodox have built this small church in the edge of the rock, in order to show respect to three saints that spend most of their lives in a rock cave underneath the church. The church was also set to the specific spot in an effort to expose the Greek presence and domination on the island to the boats that were crossing the Mediterranean.
It’s found on the main road which drives to Grecian Park Hotel.

Tips: the spot is very challenging for professional and amateur photographers. You can also spend your time there with family or friends for a picnic (picnic facilities are laid one hundred meters away from the church).

Profitis Elias / the church that sits on top of a rock at 115 meters
Another interesting spot is located in the heart of Protaras. The church of Profitis Elias dates back in the centuries, and was built before any residents have moved to Protaras. It takes 9 minutes and 156 steps to climb up to the top and meet the church. From the top you can enjoy the views of the whole town of Protaras, stretching from Cape Greco to the end of Kapparis. In a summer day with clear sky, the views can also be stretched as far as the coast of Famagusta without the help of binoculars.

Tips: this magnificent spot is perfect for wedding events. It’s romantic and idealistic, and many couples chose it to make their wedding ceremonies, or just for take wedding pictures.

Fig Tree Bay / the best coast of the Mediterranean
The beach has taken its name from the many fig trees that were planted across the beach several years ago. The older people claim that the resort of Protaras has taken its name form the specific beach as they used to call it the fig of Protaras. Today people can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the bay which cover the white crispy sand. The spot is located at the end of the Protaras Hotels Avenue. This year, two brand new venues will open to offer catering services to the public.

Tips: Best swimming time is late afternoon when the twilight is reflecting the blue waters. It’s quit tranquil and relaxing and you can enjoy it with friends or family. The water is also too warm at that time of the day.

Cape Creco / the lonely tree.
For some people it’s used to be a referendum spot as it used to provide its shadow for many workers that were spending their life working out in the fields. Today this tree is more than one hundred years old. A small wooden chair is located below, and you can spend some time relaxing while listening to birds and wind.

Tips: You can spend time relaxing while observing the nature. A cup of cold frappe coffee can keep you cool while enjoying the nature
