Top 10 Things to do in Protaras, Famagusta District

January 3, 2022 Marlin Saiz

Family-friendly and tranquil, Protaras is situated along the sandy coastline of Cyprus's Fig Tree Bay. The glorious beach is the main attraction—just be sure to keep a delightfully wary eye peeled for the legendary Ayia Napa Sea Monster. Giggle about the creepy creature over Cypriot specialties at one of the many open-air seafood restaurants in town.

Well what can I say after reading the reviews I was really nervous about booking as did not know what to expect. Angelos is very experienced and very passionate about his animals. Me and my niece went for a 5pm ride and after going to Cyprus for 20 years and first time visiting was worried about this arrogant man, dirty horses and dangerous dogs. Firstly my horse prince was beautiful was extremely well kept and well mannered even with the intence heat, my nieces horse seemed a little younger and more energetic but again was well kept and very calm. Angelos works extremely hard the stables were immaculate and gave us advice on saddles for the best ride, angelos is always safety first and was well organised ensuring we had little packs for our valuables then explaining if we follow instruction we will learn and be safe. The horses responded extremely well to his instruction and we went for a wonderful walk down to the cliffs and back, angelos took pictures for us to send on and the views were amazing. As for angelos being arrogant this is nonsense this is a hard working man with such passion for his horses and customers giving us positive energy and teaching us how to ride horses correctly and safe. He even went out of his way the following day to ensure we got all the pictures he took and we enjoyed lovely refreshments with fantastic views at his ranch ( Don't think these are the actions of an arrogant man) As for the dangerous dogs, Oscar came running at me n I thought oh no I was going to loose a leg then he gave me his paw rolled over and expected me to tickle his belly. Thank you angelos for all we learnt, our fantastic experience and getting to meet you and your lovely animal family. Can't wait to be back next year. Keep week n keep safe.

Ocean Aquarium

Reviewed By stevecN3615AB - Felixstowe, United Kingdom

I generally rely on tripadvisor and on this occasion I reserved judgement, thinking it can't be that bad and if I considered the majority of reviews here, the place would be shut down. And I'm very glad I went there! I don't know why some of the reviewers said it was dirty or they saw neglected animals, far from it and I went with someone who volunteers at an animal welfare centre in the UK. Another member of my party works in a large pet shop specializing in aquarium fish and both were very pleased with the condition of all the animals and fish. None of the fish had disease and no dirty tanks in sight. The birds were also beautiful with no plucked feathers in sight, the whole place looked well maintained and spotless. As for the exhibits, it may not be Seaworld, or the biggest Aquarium in Europe, neither are the prices. The Penguins, looked happy in an environment control enclosure, yes the smell isn't pleasant and their excrement is around, but have you seen Penguins in the wild? I feel fortunate that I have seen many different types in their native environment and trust me, they smell a lot worse in the wild! Rant over, If you have a few hours to spare, or just want to get out of the midday, please give it a go. An Aquarium with the added bonus of interacting with a monkey, or seeing a few raccoons chilling, this place is worth a visit.
