The bays are spread along about 8 km of coast; local buses and the promenade connect them. Konnos Bay is at the south end, near Cape Greco.
1 Fig Tree Bay
The best-known beach in Protaras: fine sand, shallow clear water and a small islet about 200 m offshore that strong swimmers can reach. The fig tree that gave the bay its name still grows by the beach.
Practical: Sunbeds and water sports; very busy in summer, so arrive early.
2 Konnos Bay
A small, sheltered cove ringed by pine-covered cliffs, inside the Cape Greco national forest park. The water is calm and excellent for snorkelling.
Practical: Steep access road down to the beach with limited parking; cruise boats stop offshore.
3 Profitis Ilias chapel
A small stone Byzantine-style chapel perched on a rocky outcrop above the resort, reached by a staircase. The view over the coast is best at sunset.
Practical: Free; dress modestly if entering.
4 The Protaras promenade
A seaside path running along the bays from Pernera to Fig Tree Bay — pleasant for a morning walk or an evening stroll between restaurants.
Practical: Free; flat and family-friendly.
5 The bays of Protaras
Beyond Fig Tree Bay, a series of smaller beaches — Vrysi, Louma, Sunrise and others — line the coast, many with hotels right behind them.
Practical: Most have sunbeds and beach bars; water is generally shallow and calm.
