4 NIGHT BEACHFRONT HOTEL CYPRUS £418pp
Larnaca, Cyprus
Wander through the Tombs of the Kings, where centuries-old ruins bake under the sun, then pop into a seaside taverna where the owner insists you try some grilled octopus 🐙
Up in the Troodos Mountains, twisty roads lead to hidden monasteries and cute lil’ villages. Down by the coast, the shimmery waters of Cape Greco invite you for a dip.
Yup, this is Cyprus. Spend 4 beachfront nights on the island for £418pp - with all your brekkies and dinners included.
Protaras, eh?
Strut past the queue of lads chanting Southgate’s on Fire (apparently never gets old) at Larnaca airport and get yourself on the first coach to Protaras.Straddled on Fig Tree Bay with sea the shade of Sex on the Beach and white sand beaches - this is the anti-Ayia Napa.
Kayak around the turquoise coastline or hike nature trails to cliffside churches and pine forest parks.
Where will I sleep?
At this 4-star stay you wake up to the sound of waves, stroll down to breakfast (which, by the way, is included) to fuel up for a day of beach hopping. A breezy 10-minute walk takes you to Konnos Beach and the mysterious Cyclops Cave - because, well, how often do you get to explore the home of a one-eyed giant? 👁Back at the hotel, the outdoor pool is calling your name, and the pool bar has the perfect solution for cooling off - ice cream and cocktails. Come evening, you’re off to the adults-only rooftop bar for sushi with sea views.
And the eats? Greek and Cypriot dishes made with local ingredients, plus dinner is on the house too. And if all that relaxing wears you out, there’s an indoor salt therapy pool at the spa to recharge your batteries.
What will I do?
CANNONBAAAALLLL” Dive like Batman off the cliffs at Cape Greco. The water is bluer than Billie Eilish’s eyes and clear enough to see the expressions of the fish as you plunge into their home. Oh and do watch out for the jagged, flesh-tearing rocks dotted around the bay.Protaras also has spots for underwater scootering - the lazy man’s scuba-diving, a unique (and bizarre) way to explore the depths of the Med.
