In the Area
Louis Althea Beach Hotel is sited on a rocky promontory in an area that has been designated s a 385 hectare National Forest, with a network of nature trails with strategically placed benches at points providing beautiful panoramic views from the sea cliffs overlooking the brilliantly clear waters of the southern Aegean. The Aphrodite Nature Trail follows the rim of the Cape Greco promontory. Sights along the way include whitewashed church of Agioi Anargyri with its light blue half-barrel roof surmounted by crosses at either end. Below the church at the foot of a cliff is a cave which waters are considered holy. The chapel is a favorite for weddings. Cape Greco is favoured by divers with visibilities up to 40 meters underwater and year-round warm water temperatures reaching a low of only 16 degrees C in winter.
Paralimni Lake has been designated a bird sanctuary and is part of the NATURA 200 nature network.
Protaras is a short bus trip down the coast and offers a busy, noisy nightlife with its strip of bars and restaurants. A number of day cruises are available, such as the Cyprus East Coast Lazy Day cruise with onboard lunch, and the Discover Scuba Diving cruise, and guided kayaking along east Cape Greco. Another favorite is the Troodos 4X4 Safari tour which spends 11 hours taking you through the mountains of central Cyprus and includes lunch. Also in or near Protaras is the Agioi Saranta Cave Church, the Ocean Aquarium, and horseback riding at the Moonshine Ranch.
Slightly further afield, Ayia Napa offers the Blue Lagoon Cruise, the Ghost Town Famagusta Mini Tour (this tour also leaves from Protoras), the Water World Themed Waterpark, the Ayia Napa Monastery, and the Ayia Napa Sculpture Park.
