The Area Around The Christina Villas

Cape Greco, also known as Cavo Greco, is a headland in the southeastern part of the district. It is at the southern end of Famagusta Bay. It is frequently visited by many tourists for its natural beauty. It is a protected costal nature park. From the high points on the cliff that rests at the cape one can view amazing sights out to sea. According to local legend it is also the home of the 'Ayia Napa sea monster'.

Protaras only 5 kms away, there can be found many beautiful beaches and the most famous Fig Tree Bay with lots of water sports on offer (pedalos, diving, canoeing and para-sailing etc). Protaras also offers a plethora of good local and International restaurants and a thriving night-life in the summer months.

There is also a water park and aquarium that are worth a visit. The biggest water park in Europe can be found just outside of Aiga Napa which is only 10km away. Closer to the apartment, and more local is the smaller town of Kapparis, with its own 'strip of restaurants (some good local ones as well) that are thriving throughout the year, which is less than a minutes drive away .

There is a new coastal walkway that has been built linking Protaras with Pernera. The walk is beautiful and flat making it very accessible with pram or wheelchair. Along the walkway can be found some stunning little 'secret' restaurants/cafes where you can stop for breakfast/coffee on ones morning walk, or for sundowners/dinner in the evening.It is the perfect place to sit at the end of the day, just a metre or two from the sea and watch the sunset.

About .5 Km inland from the apartment is a beautiful local town called Paralimni boasting many beautiful old Greek/Cypriot buildings and churches. It is steeped in history and well worth a visit.

Ayia Napa's quieter neighbour, Protaras is an unremarkable, modern resort with no traditional village centre, which grew quickly from virtually nothing in the late 1970s and now stretches along the coast for over 4 mls upto the UN patrolled green line. Hotels are dotted all along its length with concentrations at 4 points: starting at scenic Cape Greco, leading to Protaras centre, further east to the smaller resort of Pernera, and most recent addition Kapparis further east again. It’s important to note that these areas do not run into each other, undeveloped areas separate them. The main theme of the region are the agriculturally rich red soil villages and windmills dotting the landscape. The main town of Paralimni is situated 4 mls inland, primarily residential with a handful of shops. Protaras itself is rather lacking in genuine Cypriot character, its great attraction being its coastline of fine, white sand beaches and natural rocky coves.

Market/Suitability

Mainly middlemarket families and couples seeking a reasonable choice of entertainment and shopping but not the boisterous youth-orientated nightlife of Ayia Napa. Most hotels close in winter, leaving just a few to cater for more mature guests and those wanting a really quiet time; most local restaurants and shops also close during this time.

Beaches

Half day: village of Dherinia for views across the Green Line border towards the ghost city of Varosha, the former hotel district of Famagusta. Full day: hiking around Cape Greco (area of natural beauty with secluded beaches and coves); Larnaca; Ayia Napa for alternative beach or lively nightlife; Nicosia; tours of Troodos Mountains. All tour operators arrange their own excursions, covering other parts of Cyprus.
