Turtles Swim: Protaras' Underwater Haven

Turtles Swim, nestled in the coastal town of Protaras, is a captivating attraction renowned for its vibrant marine life, especially the sea turtles that grace its shores. This southeastern region of Cyprus, encompassing Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Pernera, is prime turtle territory, drawn by the extensive seagrass fields along the coast. Loggerhead and Green turtles are the main species you might encounter. This location isn't just about turtles; it's a chance to connect with nature in one of Cyprus's most beautiful settings. The clear blue waters offer exceptional visibility, making it perfect for snorkeling and observing these majestic creatures gliding through their habitat. While swimming with turtles, remember to respect their space—no touching or feeding. To reach Turtles Swim, head towards the beachfront promenade from the main tourist area of Protaras. Follow signs for 'Protaras Beach' or 'Fig Tree Bay'. Continue along the promenade towards Pernera, and you'll find a path leading to the Turtles Swim area.
