Fig Tree Bay is Protaras’ jewel in the crown! It was named after a solitary fig tree which stands at the headland of the beach. With its brilliant white sand, fantastic crystal clear water and Blue Flag status, it is the most popular beach, but there are others such as Louma Bay and Vrisri Beach. They are all be buzzing with people, watersports, cafes and restaurants.
 
Protaras is just a stone’s throw from the tourist hotspot Ayia Napa with its huge range of busy clubs and bars and 14 Blue Flag beaches. Of them, Makronissos Beach leads the way with watersports, whereas the family-friendly Sandy Beach has gently shelving sand. Ayia Napa is associated with beach parties, karaoke bars and nightclubs, but there is a more sophisticated side to it too. It has lovely cobbled streets, harbourside tavernas and a Medieval monastery.
 
Nicosia, the capital, is just an hour away by car. You can explore the pretty charming town within its Venetian sandstone walls, wander around the churches and museums and browse the jewellers and fabric shops. The pedestrianised Laiki Geitonia area is fantastic for souvenirs and there are plenty of places to stop for a reviving Cypriot coffee!
 
Varosha, a 40-minute drive, was deserted overnight during the Turkish invasion and is now eerie but interesting to see. A short boat trip will take you to Cape Grecko park, which is excellent for nature lovers and fantastic for snorkelling; furthermore, it has amazing views.
