Board the Aerosa for a three-hour sunset cruise from Protaras that skirts Fig Tree Bay, Konnos Bay and the ghost town of Varosha, then stops at the Blue Lagoon for an optional swim. Expect onboard refreshments, snorkel gear, and a relaxed coastal itinerary timed to golden hour.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Aerosa slips away from the Protaras quay as the sun leans toward the horizon, the sea cooling into bands of gold and indigo. On deck you feel the warm glass in your hand, the boat’s wooden timbers humming underfoot, and the coastline — Fig Tree Bay, Konnos Bay, the cliff-top Agioi Anargyroi chapel — sliding past like a slow-moving map.
