Protaras

Protaras interesting facts:

A narrow coastal plain lining about 5 km northwest of Cape Greco to the east of Paralimni
 has been given the name ”Protaras”. It is a well-known tourist centre covered with many beautiful beaches.
Protaras as we can see it today is quite possibly the site of ancient Lefkolla, the small cove
 with fine-grained sand and the little island which was originally called “Fig Tree Bay” by the British.
 Visitors from abroad know little about the ancient town of Lefkolla that had formerly a role of a city-port.
 Mentioned by Strabo, the place is where Cesnola discovered artifacts of Greco-roman origins.
 This very site is one of the ancient sites on the island. A dozens of tiny islands groom the coast of Protaras , known locally as “Nissia”.
