Ammochostos (Famagusta) with its superb golden sandy beaches, has become a big draw for sunseekers. But this part of the island traditionally remains the market garden of Cyprus, with the well-known Cyprus potato being the prominent crop.
Ayia Napa, once a small fishing village, boasts a superb Venetian decorated monastery with a central octagonal fountain. It lends character and substance to a village that’s better known to holidaymakers for its colourful shops, tavernas, discos and bars. A small Marine Life Museum presents exhibits of past and present marine fauna. The focal point of the resort is the small harbour, where the tavernas specialize in fresh fish harvested by the colourful fishing vessels.
Life in the south eastern corner mostly revolves around the sea, and water sports of all kinds are readily enjoyed – from scuba diving to paragliding.
Protaras has built up a deserving reputation for its windmills and glorious beaches. The small, whitewashed town of Paralimni, slightly inland, has a number of open-air, unspoilt tavernas known for their delicious local cuisine.
