Food Scene
One of the best Taverns in Cyprus. Best place to try the local couzine. We suggest ordering 'meze', a little bit of everything. The reastaurant is quite popular with both locals and tourists so a reservation is recommended.

Sightseeing
THE MOST UNUSUAL CAVE CHURCH: AYIOI SARANTA IN PROTARAS
Shrouded in mystery and set away in a location so wild and rugged (yet also so very idyllic) that anyone who visits the area is quite simply lost for words.
It may be located in one of the most popular tourist areas of the island – Protaras – but it feels like a world away from it all, totally off the beaten track, with a raw appeal so very magnificent that it has been located by a number of curious intrepid travellers and recently featured in the ‘Travel News’ section of the UK’s MailOnline as one of the quirkiest churches to visit in the world.
There is no official reference of when this church was first built, and as for the name of the church, it is believed that the word ‘Saranta’ which means ‘40’ in Greek is derived from forty stalagmites on the ceiling of the cave, linked to the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste.
How to get to this remote spot:
As you’re travelling from Ayia Napa to Protaras, just after the turning for the Grecian Park Hotel (which is to your right), there is a sign to your left for the ‘Moonshine Ranch’. Turn left, pass the ranch, and continue on. After about 500 metres, you’ll soon be on a dirt road – this, however, is where it gets a little tricky as the church is not signposted. Keep on the left at most forks in the road and head towards the hills rather than the sea and the church will appear before you…and remember, getting a little lost before you get to the spot is half the fun! The total distance off the main road is approximately 3.6 kilometres.

Ayia Thekla
The church of Ayia Thekla is one of the oldest spots in the area dating back to the middle ages. It sits in a peaceful setting, fronted by the beautiful turquoise Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by natural flora. A small sandy beach also lies here with a tiny island just of the shore that keeps the waves away.
