Once a thriving resort area, this coastal city has remained deserted since the Turkish invasion in 1974, serving as a powerful reminder of Cyprus' divided history.

We loved our excursion. We hoped to see turtles and it was a success! We could see them up close (very close). The crew on board is very welcoming and the boat is very clean. I recommend with my eyes closed.
Perfect!!!

Great boat, not over crowded, staff were friendly & fun, gave some info about the different landmarks, lunch was enjoyable and there was GREAT 70’s & 80’s music. We saw turtles & the swim spots were spectacular!
Too many people in a small space. I enclose in a sentence the negative of this experience....

Wonderful places. Crew friendly. Nice boat. Too bad there were 60 of us in little space. 20 people, coming up after, basically had to make do to sit down. Even to eat I stood with the plate in my hand. One should have the courage to earn less and offer more. A great cruise if it was with 40 people. Too bad really xche 'the places are wonderful
Nice trip, poor coordination and planning

Very similar to other boats content-wise. However the organisation and planning is poor. They take you to another harbor from Protaras Pier with an old car whose driver ignores many traffic rules and is on the phone while driving. If there is a lot of people starting at Protaras Pier, they have to give them rides in batches witch can take 30 minutes. Mr. Marko promises you a boat that is only half full, but it is full just like other boats. On top of that we were hit by a rain on our way back and there was a lot of chaos regarding the planning who is going to take us back to the Protaras Pier. We tried to contact Mr. Marko 3x and no one picked up the phone. I think it is not professional. Other boat tours maybe give you more truthful information about what they are offering. Otherwise, I would recommend the trip with any of them, you can swim with turtles and they are very cute. You can also get a price at a discount of 25 euros per person for the 4 hour trip so it is worth to negotiate if you decide to go with Medusa Tours anyways.
A successful game...!!!

A beautiful trip on a well-kept yacht that was really fun...! The captain and his crew were very friendly and spread best mood! The bar Service was great and the prices very reasonable! Unfortunately, only the 3-hour drive was available, I would have preferred the 4-hour drive.

Medusa cruises offer the best experience in Cyprus. The captain and crew are so friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable, and go above & beyond to make your trip the most enjoyable ever. We have been on 3 of the Medusa cruises as we wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had the most delicious food prepared having sent my dietary requirements beforehand (gluten free, dairy free, pescatarian) which was no trouble at all for the amazing chef. Swimming with the turtles and at Blue Pool was such a beautiful and stunning experience which will stay with us forever. I highly recommend Medusa Cruises, Protaras, Cyprus to all and everyone. Simply the best cruises ever 😊
an unforgettable adventure

great time, definitely worth choosing this particular cruise, amazing crew and an unforgettable adventure. the only drawback is lunch - a large portion but I got rice with rice, potatoes, bread and pasta (a bit of a strange combination) but I still recommend this cruise
Excellent trip, chilled...
