While outdoor activities may not be a common passion among Cypriots, Protaras offers a range of water-based experiences for tourists. The main beach at Fig Tree Bay is the prime location for these activities in Protaras, including wakeboarding, water skiing, and other water sports that thrive in gentle breezes and calm seas.
Another popular beach for such activities is Pernera Beach, where you'll find the TAVA dive center. Louma Beach in Protaras is also a favorite spot for tourists interested in wake surfing, paragliding, or simply enjoying banana boating. For a safer water skiing experience, Konnos Beach is an excellent choice, as it is sheltered from strong winds, making it suitable even for activities like parasailing.
If you prefer organized water adventures, you can contact local activity companies like Stephanos Water Sports, which offer a wide range of services, from wakeboarding in Protaras to sea safaris. The average cost for these activities ranges from 30-40 EUR for 15-20 minutes (parasailing, wakesurfing, water skiing), while rides on a "banana" or a large inflatable tube typically cost between 8 EUR to 15 EUR.
