Villa Eunoia

Villa Eunoia can be found on the beachfront of an exclusive gated resort overlooking beautiful Konnos Bay, on the island of Cyprus, set in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The nearest international airport is Larnaca, a sixty kilometre scenic drive to your luxury holiday home. The resort is surrounded by the Cape Greco National Park, which includes the National Park Forest for hikes in nature, and the 200 metre long Konnos Beach, with its soft golden sands, and crystal clear waters, which are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports.

The holiday hot spot resort of Ayia Napa is nine kilometres along the coast, where you can visit the sixteenth century monastery, and the Thalassa Municipal Museum, to learn a little of the history and culture of the island. Charter a yacht, or join a boat trip to dolphin watch, and discover secret bays and hidden caves. In the other direction picturesque Protaras is renowned for the golden sandy beach of Fig Tree Bay, a promenade where you can stroll or cycle along the coast, and the church of Profitis Elias, with breath-taking sea views.

In the evening go to Ayia Napa or Protaras, sip cocktails in lively bars, feast on freshy caught sea food by the sea shore, then dance until dawn at one of the many fashionable clubs.

Perched on Cyprus’s stunning southeastern coastline, Protaras is a Mediterranean jewel boasting sky-blue seas, sun-soaked beaches, and laid-back touches of traditional charm. What is more, Protaras’ serrated coastline of coves and promontories means there is no shortage of shallow, serene bays that are ideal for families, swimming, and watersports.

The famed Fig Tree Bay, with its shallow, protected water and golden sands is the most popular beach, and regularly listed among the best in Europe. Named after the lone fig tree set amidst its pristine sands, this quaint inlet is a picturesque retreat for sunbathers and snorkelers alike, but it’s also only the beginning of Protaras’ delightful qualities.

If you’re looking for a slightly quieter spot to sunbathe and dip your toes in the calm, Mediterranean waters, make your way south across the Fig Tree Peninsula to find a series of bays, including Green Bay which is a laid-back and excellent spot for snorkeling where you might even be lucky enough to see a sea turtle!

But snorkeling only scratches the surface of Protaras’ spectacular coastline, as it is a haven for scuba divers of all levels of experience. The region boasts a number of fantastic dive sights including the Green Bay Caves, the wrecks of the Liberty and the Nemesis, and the wonderful submerged gallery of statues which is close enough to shore to be accessible to divers and snorkelers alike. But if getting your feet wet isn’t your bag, not to fear, the coastline is equally wonderful to explore on a private boat tour. Tours explore highlights such as Cape Greco, Konnos Bay and the lovely Blue Lagoon.

Anyone looking to put their hiking boots to good use will revel in Protaras’s sublime selection of hiking options, from the rugged Cape Greco National Park to the unique Paralimni Lake – a natural saltwater wetland area swamped with migratory birds including herons, ducks, and even pink flamingoes. Cape Grego National Park is well known for its breathtaking landscapes and boasts several hiking trails. What is more, the Park offers a bevy of swimming spots so make sure to bring your bathers.

Far from limited to natural wonders, Protaras is also a culinary adventure. The town’s tavernas are brimming with grilled halloumi and souvlaki, and serve as the perfect spots to sit and relax as twilight turns to evening and the strum of bouzouki music serenades the streets and promenades. But don’t get too comfortable, because the night won’t end there. Protaras has a lively nightlife which centres on The Strip where numerous bars and clubs are open until late into the night, offering plenty of music and entertainment to keep the party going.

With its splendid assortment of natural wonders from serene bays to rugged landscapes, and no shortage of activities, attractions, and alluring culinary delights, Protaras is a picturesque location for a perfect vacation whether you’re a young family or a group of firm friends.
