What To Expect
Protaras Pier serves as the main departure point for boat trips along the eastern coast of Cyprus, including tours to Turtle Cove, Blue Lagoon, and Cape Greco. The pier is a lively hub where visitors can board modern and traditional boats, offering easy access to the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Its convenient location near the center of Protaras makes it ideal for both locals and tourists, and it’s a popular spot for photography, especially at sunrise and sunset.
The charming Pernera Fishing Shelter, home to around 80 traditional fishing boats, will be integrated into the waterspace of Paralimni Marina, providing additional protection for the local fleet. Next to the fishing harbor stands a small chapel dedicated to Agios Nikolaos, the patron saint of sailors. Many of his miracles are connected to the sea, and locals believe he protects the boats and their crews, which is why the chapel was built at this location. It is also our second pick-up point.

3.00The boat trip itself was nice and the swim stops were pleasant however boat was ok in terms of numbers at the first load point but when we stopped at the second there were just too many people. We were at the end of the boat and there were people on the stairs, standing and having to sit on stools. The people near us seemed intent on getting drunk, vaping etc - all fine but not when theyre standing right next to you. I would only do this again if it was quieter. I heard the captain arguing with a woman who complained and he told her to get off! I also do not think people should have to sit fot 3 hrs on plastic stools. Overall these things spoiled the trip for. I think i paid arpund 180 euros for the family so it wasnt cheap!! Disappointing
Amazing 🤩🐢

5.00Great cruise in love! The price is really not excessive for the package! Very beautiful landscapes all along with explanations about the history of Cyprus. Thanks to Sarah a guide on the boat speaking French which changes everything for understanding and who takes the time with all Francophones! The little one + we swim in incredible blue waters and swim with turtles! An unforgettable memory 🤩
