Paralimni
Gateway to Cyprus's golden coves
Paralimni is the low-key base for Protaras and Cape Greco — crystal coves, family beaches and sea-cave viewpoints, with a quieter, more local feel than neighbouring Ayia Napa.

| Attraction | Entrance | Time | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fig Tree Bay (Protaras Beach) | Free | 2–4 hours | Protaras' signature Blue Flag beach with 500m of fine golden sand, shallow turquoise water and a small offshore islet you can swim to; named for the centuries-old fig tree still standing at its edge. |
| Cape Greco National Forest Park | Free | 2–3 hours | A 385-hectare protected headland between Protaras and Ayia Napa with sea-cliff walking trails, the Kamara tou Koraka natural arch, sea caves and panoramic viewpoints over the Mediterranean. |
| Konnos Bay | Free | 1–3 hours | A sheltered, pine-fringed cove inside Cape Greco park with calm, clear water good for families and snorkelling; a moderate 2km coastal trail leads south to the sea cave known as Cyclops Cave. |
| Protaras Ocean Aquarium | €15 | 1–2 hours | A family-oriented marine park with tanks of Mediterranean and tropical fish, sharks, an aquatic 4D cinema and feeding shows, a reliable rainy-day or midday-heat alternative to the beach. |
| Church of Profitis Ilias | Free | 30–45 minutes | A hilltop Greek Orthodox chapel reached by 153 steps, offering the area's best panoramic view from Cape Greco to Famagusta; visitors traditionally tie ribbons to the wishing tree beside it. |
