Ayia Napa Cactus Park

Website

Officially the Ayia Napa Park of Mediterranean Plants, Cactus and Succulents, the Ayia Napa Cactus Park is worth a day trip from Protaras. It is next to the Ayia Napa International Sculpture Park and Open Sculpture Museum – so you can see both in one trip. They are worth the effort, especially since there’s no entrance fee for either of them and they remain open all throughout the year, 24/7. Do wear proper shoes and sunscreen when you visit the Ayia Napa Cactus Park and come prepared with water and food, as there are no facilities on site.

Inaugurated in 2015, the Ayia Napa Cactus Park boasts currently about 8000 plants, but it’s an ongoing project that will expand to showcase the true diversity of the Cypriot and the Mediterranean plants, cacti, and succulents.

More Trips & Excursions

Cyclops Cave

Not far from Protaras, the Cyclops Cave is the legendary den of the mythical man-eating one-eyed Cyclops Polyphemus who trapped Odysseus and some of his men on their way back home from the Trojan War. Odysseus eventually blinded the cyclops with a wooden stake and escaped unharmed, but he did lose some of his men.

Dherynia Village

Dherynia is a charming village in the Famagusta district of Cyprus. It is well worth a day trip, considering that it boasts many attractions, including an outdoor folk-art museum at the heart of the settlement – at Demetri Liberti 2. The Deryneia Folkloric Museum, in a house opposite the Open Air Traditional Folk Art Museum, documents aspects of lifestyle in an old traditional residence.

Sculpture Park

One of the most fascinating things to see when you vacation in Protaras, and a short drive from Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa by the Sea, the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa is a premiere in the Famagusta Free Province. It hosts works by artists participating in the Ayia Napa Municipality International Sculpture Symposium meetups between 2014-2017 – both Cypriot and international talent.

Medusa Boat Trips

Medusa Cruises offers a variety of boat trips and tours. They do, however, have a daily boat tour in the summer leaving at 10:45 a.m. from the Pernera Fishing Shelter in the Protaras Harbour. Besides the scheduled daily trips, they also offer sunset cruises, fishing trips, and private charters for events like hen or stag parties, weddings, birthdays, and other happy occasions.

Ocean Aquarium

The Ocean Aquarium is an exotic destination where adults and children alike can observe a variety of animals in a fascinating natural setting.

Thalassa Municipal Museum

Right in the centre of Ayia Napa, a short drive from Protaras, the Thalassa Municipal Museum opened its doors in 2005. It is a maritime museum that documents the role, importance, and impact of the sea on the island of Cyprus.
