Getting There

Walking

From Protaras’s main coastal promenade, head toward the scenic coastal path near Konnos Bay and follow visual cues like cliff ridgelines and pine-scented air. The path weaves through coastal scrub and open vistas; a gentle walk of around 45–60 minutes brings you into view of the shimmering cove. Terrain is uneven underfoot, so solid footwear helps.
Taxi

A short ride from central Protaras toward Konnos Bay costs approximately €10–15. From there, orient yourself by the rocky headlands and coastal greenery; a brief walk of about 15–20 minutes—marked by the sound of lapping waves and a sliver of blue ahead—delivers you to the lagoon’s edge.
