AREA GUIDE - CYPRUS
Ayia Napa/ Protaras
With its superb beaches and multi-star hotels, this south-eastern region of Cyprus draws discerning sun seekers from all over the globe. But this part of the island remains the agricultural heart of Cyprus, where traditional windmills stand with modern aqueducts to irrigate the fertile red soil. Life in this corner of Cyprus revolves around the sea, with water sports of all kinds readily available - from scuba diving to water-skiing and paragliding. Agia Napa, once a small fishing village, is now a lively resort. Historic sites such as a 16th-century Venetian monastery lend character to a town that’s best known for its colourful shops, taverns and discos. Another focal point is the crescent harbour, crowded with bright fishing boats. The day’s catch makes a superb seafood dinner at the popular restaurants nearby. Protaras is another area benefiting from glorious beaches spread out under the sun, while just inland the whitewashed town of Paralimni boasts open-air taverns known for their succulent grilled fish. And if you fancy a slower pace of life, one only needs to drive a few miles from these most contemporary of resorts to find traditional towns and quiet lifestyles where you will instantly feel eons away. The rugged coast toward Cape Greco, with its string of calm sandy coves, is strikingly peaceful and blessed with indescribably beautiful sunsets. Back...
