About Protaras: Blue Lagoon and Turtle Cove Boat Trip
This full-day boat trip is an all-around 3-hour tour of the beautiful east coast of Protaras. You will see the most beautiful things in the area, from the ghost town of Famagusta to the quiet bays of Cape Greco. Laze with a cocktail and sail the Mediterranean.
The journey starts at Protaras Pier, where you will depart with the vessel “Aphrodite I Cruises.” First stop: Paralimni Marina, ideal for capturing pictures of the coast. Then continue along Fig Tree Bay and Konnos Beach to the renowned caves of Cape Greco.

ElloCyprus Recommends
It is advisable to book the sunset tour for the best view of the sun slipping away just below the horizon and casting its golden touch over the coastline. Carry along your snorkel gear and be on the watch during the stop at Turtle Cove if you are keen to sight the sea turtles. The best time to go, though, will be the morning tour, well before the crowd arrives. Don’t forget the camera! Take pictures of beautiful views from the Cape Greco caves and clear waters in the Blue Lagoon.
