Protaras is one of Cyprus' favorite seaside resorts for families on vacation. The beaches here - particularly Fig Tree Bay - have fine white sand and incredibly clear and calm waters that are great for kids to splash about in safely.
The town itself has an easygoing vibe far from the hustle and bustle of bigger resorts, and most people who holiday here come strictly for lazy beach days. The small church of Ayios Elias is on a peak beside the main road into town, and if you do feel like a short climb, the summit offers great views along the entire coast.
The bus ride to Protaras from Agia Napa only takes 20 minutes, so you can easily get a bus from Larnaca to Agia Napa and then onward to Protaras, and return the same way, in a day.
