Paralimni sits in the sunny south-east corner of Cyprus and is best known to UK visitors through its coastal resort of Protaras. It offers the reliable warmth, clear seas and easy family atmosphere that make Cyprus such a popular package destination.

It is a relaxed, welcoming area where English is widely spoken and the beaches do most of the talking.

Where to stay in Paralimni

Vangelis Hotel and Suites is a four-star apart-hotel in the centre of Protaras, within walking distance of Fig Tree Bay, which makes it handy for both the beach and local restaurants.

Getting there and when to go

Paralimni is an easy transfer from Larnaca airport, which is well connected to the UK. Cyprus enjoys one of the longest seasons in the Mediterranean, with hot summers and warm, sunny shoulder months, so late spring and early autumn are ideal if you prefer gentler heat.

Beaches and resorts

The coast around Protaras is famous for soft white sand and shallow, clear turquoise water that is excellent for families with young children. There are plenty of well-kept beaches with sunbeds, watersports and easy swimming.

Food and things to do

You can eat well here, from traditional Cypriot meze and grilled fish to familiar holiday menus. Beyond the beach there are boat trips, watersports and easy days out along the coast, with a laid-back evening scene rather than heavy nightlife.

Who it suits

Paralimni suits families wanting safe, shallow beaches and couples after sunshine and good food in a relaxed setting. It is sociable without being raucous, which is just what many UK holidaymakers are looking for.
