Board the wooden Aerosa for a four‑hour sunset cruise from Protaras that mixes swims, a buffet dinner, and close views of Varosha and sea caves. Snorkel gear, onboard restrooms and a fireworks finale at Fig Tree Bay make this an easy evening adventure.

The Aerosa slips from Protaras harbor as amber light skims the water, the engine's low thrum setting a steady pace. Guests watch the coastline open: a distant, fenced silhouette of Varosha, limestone cliffs cut by sea caves, and a natural rock bridge that frames the sinking sun. The sea dares you — clear, cool, and inviting — and the crew times dips so the light flatters every photograph.
