Sightseeing tours within Protaras are not very common; tourists are typically encouraged to explore destinations outside the town. For instance, popular bus tours from Protaras take visitors to places like Liopetri, a fishing village known for its beautiful 16th-century Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, or Cape Greco, which usually costs around 15-20 EUR.
For longer excursions, tourists can opt for day trips to destinations like Larnaca, Paphos, or Ayia Napa. These tours usually range from 40 EUR to 100 EUR.
The tourists often enjoy safari excursions in Protaras. One option is the "Sea Safari," where you'll journey along the coast on a boat with a transparent bottom, allowing you to observe underwater life, explore the "Shark's Mouth" cave, and catch a glimpse of the ghost town of Famagusta, which became a part of the Chernobyl-like exclusion zone after Cyprus was divided.
A more comprehensive choice is a jeep safari around Protaras, providing a versatile exploration of the town. In 3-4 hours, you can discover the mountains, coast, learn about Cyprus' history, and visit the local nature reserve. Prices typically range from 35-50 EUR per person.
