recommended things to see and do throughout your stay:
Cape Grecko
One of Cyprus’ highlights, the national park is full of natural beauty. From the Sea Caves to Lover’s bridge and Ayioi Anargyroi Chapel, there are many sights to see. Best explored by foot, along the hiking trails, or by bicycle (rent at reception). The views are unforgettable and provide you with amazing photos to keep forever.
Beaches
The east coast of Cyprus is famous for having beautiful beaches. Very close to Cavo Zoe is Konnos Beach inside Cape Grecko. Fig Tree Bay is
a blue flag beach in the centre of Protaras and Nissi Beach is a lively beach in Ayia Napa. All with white sands and crystal clear waters, watersports,
cafes and toilets, so you can spend the whole day enjoying our paradise!
Scuba diving and snorkelling Green Bay is right on our doorstep and is a popular spot for turtles to be spotted in summer months. You can learn to scuba dive or snorkel and explore the turquoise calm of the Mediterranean. Alternatively head out for a day at sea on a boat trip with swim stops at the Blue Lagoon!
