Protaras Hotels

Protaras, a lively town that stretches along the famous Fig Tree Bay in Cyprus. With consistent growth during the last three decades it has emerged as an alternative resort to the abandoned Famagusta city since the 1974 Turkish invasion. Look for accommodation in Protaras, or try finding hotels in Ayia Napa, 5 km to the south, or Famagusta, 9 km to the northeast.

väldigt spännande stad. här finns en hel stadsdel som blev övergiven när turkarna kom och ockuperade norra delen av cypern. denna del är fortfarande avspärrad och vaktad av soldater. flera km med tomma och förfallna hotell ugör den sk Spökstaden. Cornelia E.

Best described as ancient city which was once in bloom and has now very much gone to seed in the ravages of the sea air and sand. Recently subject to some modernisation in a bid to attract tourists, I actually like the decaying nature of its huge walls, many churches and stunning cathedral. Andy G.

If you're staying in greek cyprus, try your best to go on a boat trip to see famagusta from a distance. Mad to see such a large city almost completely abandoned. theres even a half built hilton hotel from the time of the invasion Enda M.More Protaras Tips  GeckoGo
