Paralimni — Cyprus travel guide

Paralimni

Fig Tree Bay, Protaras & a family-friendly coast

Paralimni and its resort of Protaras are the calmer, family-friendly side of Cyprus’ east coast — the soft golden sand of Fig Tree Bay, the pine-backed cove of Konnos Bay, a lively little fishing harbour, and the sea caves of Cape Greco right on the doorstep. Think of it as Ayia Napa’s quieter neighbour: the same turquoise water, far less of the late-night noise.
