Vacation Prices
When compared to other Mediterranean resorts like the Italian Riviera, a vacation in Protaras is relatively budget-friendly. The major expenses include airfare (ranging from 100-250 EUR for a one-way ticket) and accommodation (starting at an average of 30 EUR per night).
Another significant cost component for a vacation in Protaras is food. In inexpensive restaurants and taverns, you can enjoy a hearty lunch for around 25-30 EUR (with generous portions), while small cafes and fast-food eateries offer quick bites for 5-7 EUR. Freshly squeezed juice typically costs 4-5 EUR, and a glass of wine starts at 3 EUR. If you prefer self-catering, consider shopping at the Lidl supermarket.
Local excursions come at an average cost of 60-120 EUR for two people, and beach activities can be relatively pricey. For example, a ride on a traditional banana boat may cost 10 EUR, while a 15-minute parasailing experience can be priced at 45 EUR. Souvenirs are also a common expense during a Protaras vacation, with popular items including olive oil cosmetics, handmade textiles, and sweets (usually totaling up to 100 EUR).
Don't forget to account for potential transportation costs, where a bus ride to neighboring towns can be as low as 1.50 EUR, and a taxi ride might set you back nearly 20 EUR.
On average, planning a holiday for two people in Protaras should involve budgeting at least 1000-1300 EUR.
