Advantages: Diving & All Watersports,Clubs,bars

Disadvantages: none

Situated on the south east part of the island on renowned for its beautiful coastline and renowned for its best beach- Fig Tree Bay, it really is beautiful, and conveniently it is 5/10 minutes from Ayia Napa!

This resort is popular with divers with a plethora of diving clubs available. The sea is sparklingly clear and clean a real pleasure for swimming and snorkelling as well.The resort is an attractive one with a good choice of accomodation, bars, restaurants,car/bike hire and several supermarkets, this is not an expensive resort - restaurant prices represent good value for money, entry to the clubs is cheap (and includes free drinks all night!)the cocktail prices are about £1 each (watch out these are large and deceptively strong)food is available all day, there are good snack bars lining the main beach.

I recommend scooter hire here which is cheap, but you must have helmets now to abide by their laws. We found the scooter enabled us to really investigate the area - we found deserted beaches and bays, out of the way villages with real locals and good old fashioned cypriot dishes, we also took a drive to Nissi beach which is popular but still worth a visit, we also drove up to the Turkish border to take a peek at the deserted city....

There are some good trips available from the barbeques in the hills, and a trip up to Nicosia to the more adventurous cruise over to Egypt or Jerusalem which again were very reasonable.

Ayia Napa was only 5 minutes by scooter and we usually went there in the evening as there is a great choice of things to do but we preferred to stay in the quieter resort of Protarus (we actually went on honeymoon to Ayia Napa and had a great time though)

Altogether this resort is suitable for young and old, families or just a group of freinds as it really does cater for everyone and with the versatility the car/bike hire offers - the skys'the limit!
