You step aboard Mediterraneo III and the sea answers: a wide stripe of cobalt unfolding toward Cape Greco, spray and wind playing at the bows as the catamaran slips away from Protaras harbor. The boat hums, laughter mixes with gull calls, and a line of limestone headlands approaches—Varosha’s shoreline visible in the distance, silent and stark against the water.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step aboard Mediterraneo III and the sea answers: a wide stripe of cobalt unfolding toward Cape Greco, spray and wind playing at the bows as the catamaran slips away from Protaras harbor. The boat hums, laughter mixes with gull calls, and a line of limestone headlands approaches—Varosha’s shoreline visible in the distance, silent and stark against the water.
The route traces centuries of maritime traffic along Cyprus’s eastern shore—ancient sailors hugged these cliffs, and modern history is visible in Famagusta’s abandoned quarter, Varosha. Geologically the coast is limestone and sandstone, terraces cut by sea and time; underwater, Posidonia meadows cradle small fish and occasionally caretta-caretta turtles.
Culturally, the trip moves between resort bustle and quieter fishing coves; captains will point out Cape Greco’s natural arches and the Blue Lagoon’s aquamarine bowl where currents polish the sand. Expect two or three swim stops—Derynia Bay and the Blue Lagoon are highlights—plus a buffet lunch and an open bar on deck.
Practical guide: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel and a lightweight wind layer—sea breezes can be sharp. Swim from the ladder into clear, shallow water; currents are usually mild but listen to crew briefings. The tour runs about five hours with pickup from designated Protaras points; it’s suitable for most fitness levels but keep an eye on kids near ladders. If prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding. Arrive early for a good seat and charge your camera—this stretch of coastline demands wide-angle attention.
