Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction
of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus.

Protaras has clear sky-blue waters and sandy beaches, the most well-known of which is Fig
Tree Bay less than 150 m from the Melini Hotel Suites. Building on the success of Ayia
Napa, located about 10 km southwest, it has expanded into a modern holiday resort of
considerable size with tens of high capacity hotels, hotel apartments, villas, restaurants,
pubs and associated facilities. Being quieter than Ayia Napa and having less of a club
scene, it has a reputation of catering more for family and Cypriot tourism. Cape Greco is a
10-minute drive from the center of Protaras, and is considered one of the most beautiful
places on the island.

Protaras is one of the most popular diving destinations with some of the best dive sites of
Cyprus and the East Med. Green Bay being the most popular dive site with thousands of first
timers trying scuba diving. The Blue Hole, the Chapel, the De Costa Bay, Malama bay are
