PARADISE VS HEAVEN AYIA NAPA - PROTARAS
Protaras is a resort town in eastern Cyprus, known for its beaches and for Fig Tree Bay with its old, lone fig tree. Above the bay are excavated Hellenistic tombs. To the northwest, atop a rock, the limestone Church of Profitis Ilias marks one end of a nature trail that leads to Konnos Beach. To the south, Cape Greco National Forest Park has clear waters and protected pine forest trails. Ayia Napa is a Mediterranean resort town on the southeast coast of Cyprus, known for its beaches. The town's main landmark is the storied, Venetian-era Ayia Napa Monastery, which stands in the central square of Plateia Seferi, surrounded by bars and clubs. Freshly caught seafood is served at Ayia Napa Harbour’s busy tavernas, while adjoining Pantachou Beach offers a stretch of golden sand.
Paradise In Protaras 2015
Located on the south easternmost coast of Cyprus, Protaras is a popular holiday destination that boasts a fabulous selection of beaches and splendid year round weather.
Family orientated and popular with couples, Protaras offers a variety of hotels, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities to please all manner of holidaymakers.
Situated on the east side of the Island, Protaras covers approximately 5km of the golden Famagusta Coastline.
Protaras flourished into a charming tourist resort in the 1980s as a more sophisticated alternative to the buzzing and wild atmosphere of its neighbouring town; Agia Napa (located 5 miles west of Protaras).
Before becoming a tourist resort Protaras was essentially uninhabited; the area was mostly covered by a multitude of windmills, some of which still stand, adding to the character of the Protaras landscape. Artefacts uncovered during recent excavations dating back to the Greco-Roman era (58 BC - 395 AD) suggest the land where Protaras now exists may have been the ancient town of Lefkola, notable in those times for its hustling port.
Protaras became an idyllic holiday resort largely due to the beautiful sandy beaches in its vicinity. There are several excellent beaches, each developed to appeal to a particular type of holidaymaker. For instance, the main beach “Fig Tree Bay”, regarded as one of the most popular beaches on the island, offers a wide range of water-sports, while to the north of the coastline, the tranquil waters of Skoutari Beach, make for great snorkelling.
Protaras is particularly apt for package-holidays owing to the impressive array of hotels that have been built in the area since not many people actually reside in this town. Some hotels are enormous comprising several swimming pools and have been purpose-built to fulfil their guests’ every need. The “All-inclusive” deals at these hotels often cover the use of deluxe sports facilities such as: Tennis courts, Gymnasiums and Spas, and even offer useful services such as babysitting and hairdressing.
Activities
The sea caves along the Protaras coastline are brilliant for those who like to explore. There are unique rock formations, arches and hidden coves to appreciate and photograph. While some can only be classed as small crevices, others are ample caverns that you can actually go into. There are also little islets just off the shoreline to admire and one in particular is big enough to serve as a retreat for those who prefer to avoid crowded beaches, or enjoy swimming, as the sea by the main beaches can be packed with people taking part in water-sports.
The coastal location of Protaras lends itself to various interesting day-time activities. Boat trips to Cape Greko, the south-easternmost point on the island, or Varosha, located in the Turkish part of Cyprus, are available daily during the summer months.
Cape Greco is a protected nature park and is for this reason a popular stop-point/destination in Boat-trip routes. The town of Varosha is a regular destination for boat trips as it is deserted yet its houses, offices and shops are still fully furnished and equipped as if frozen in time. The town was evacuated in a hurry by its Cypriot citizens in 1974 due to the Turkish invasion and has been sealed off by the Turkish army ever since hence its “ghost town” reputation.
Despite the sudden commercial development of Protaras, hiking is still a popular day-time activity at this resort as the rugged coastline towards Cape Greko remains mostly untouched. There are a couple of nature trails from Protaras which are worth undertaking. The longer trail of the two, is 8.5 kilometers long, taking approximately 3 hours to complete. The trail begins at the limestone chapel of Profitis Elias, which was rebuilt in the 1980s on the foundations of an ancient church. The chapel’s lofty location on the summit of an enormous rock, offers hikers breathtaking views of the entire town of Protaras. The trail then moves south along the coast ending at Konnos beach.
The second trail is 2.3 kilometres long, taking approximately 45 minutes to complete. The trail is circular and therefore begins and ends at the chapel of Agioi Anargyroi. Exotic plants are the most memorable feature of this trail, particularly the fragrant shrubs of Phoenician Juniper, which are commonly used as incense in the Mediterranean.

Tishia tis Madaris Troodos mountains Cyprus
The Ticha tis Madaris Nature Trail joins the Madari-Doxa Soi o Theos and Madari-Selladi Karamanli Trails at the starting point. Natural Vertical walls represent the most durable part in the process of erosion that has been going on for millions of years.
Σε ολόκληρη τη διαδρομή γύρω από τα «Τεισιά της Μαδαρής» εμφανίζονται φλεβικά πετρώματα και είναι μία από τις πιο εντυπωσιακές εμφανίσεις του Συστήματος Πολλαπλών Φλεβών. Το πιο συνταρακτικό στοιχείο της γεωλογίας της περιοχής είναι οι σχεδόν κατακόρυφοι βράχοι (τα Τεισιά) που ξεπροβάλλουν επιβλητικά σαν πελώρια τείχη λαξευμένα στο βράχο σε ολόκληρη τη διαδρομή. Αυτοί οι κατακόρυφοι βράχοι αποτελούν το πιο ανθεκτικό κομμάτι στη διάβρωση του βράχου που εξελίσσεται εδώ και εκατομμύρια χρόνια και δεν πρόκειται για ανθρώπινο επίτευγμα.

Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates, Kourion, Cyprus, Europe
The sanctuary is located about 2,5 kilometres west of the ancient town of Kourion along the road which leads to Pafos. It was one of the main religious centres of ancient Cyprus, where Apollo was worshipped as god of the woodlands. It seems that the worship of Apollo on this site began as early as the 8th century B.C. and continued until the 4th century A.D. The site has undergone many extensions and alterations in different periods. The majority of the monuments as they can be seen today belong to the site's 1st century AD restorations. A wall from which one could enter the site via the Kourion Gate and the Pafos Gate surrounds the sanctuary. Originally the site consisted of: a temple, traces of which survive in the foundations of the present temple; a circular monument, which was probably destined for processions or dances around a grove of sacred trees; and a formalized Archaic Altar and Precinct. During the Roman period the site was extended with the addition of the South and North Buildings, which may have been used for the display of votives or the accommodation of visitors. Terracotta figurines and pottery that were accumulated in the Temple from the 5th century B.C. to the Roman period were buried in the Votive Pit. A long street running from south to north leads to the Temple of Apollo Hylates, which was built in the Late Classical or Early Hellenistic period on the ruins of the Archaic temple. In the 1st century A.D. the temple was rebuilt with a different architectural style. A small building south of the Precinct may have been a priest’s house. Along the external east side of the walls are the Palaestra where athletes once exercised and played games, and the Baths.
