Protaras

Very close, eight kilometers from the noisy Ayia Napa, is a quiet and cozy resort village of Protaras. This is one of the best places in Cyprus for a relaxing family or secluded vacation. The nearby village of Paralimni is famous for its pristine beaches and white sand.and the beaches of Protaras itself are no worse than in Ayia Napa. For example, in Fig Tree Bay, not far from the Artemis Hotel Apartments (3 stars, Protaras, Cyprus), there is one of the longest and most beautiful beaches in Cyprus. This is a free city beach with a developed infrastructure and a variety of entertainment. Toilets, showers, rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, volleyball and other entertainment and numerous taverns for every taste make the beach the center of the resort village.

At the top of the rock is the symbol of Protaras - the Church of the Prophet Elijah, which is visible from almost every corner of the village. Day and night (when a beautiful backlight is lit) you can watch this beautiful landscape from the rooms of the Artemis Hotel Apartments 3. Protaras is truly proud of this complex.

Kitchen corner

About Artemis Hotel Apartments 3(Cyprus, Protaras) reviews are mostly positive. You can begin to consider them with a description of the kitchen. Its presence in every room is the main highlight of the hotel. Everyone knows how expensive it is to eat in the Eurozone countries. In addition, despite the abundance of restaurants and cafes, the food may not be to everyone's taste and is not at all suitable for feeding young children. Therefore, a room with a kitchen for a modest tourist is always a great choice.

Artemis Hotel Apartments 3 (Protaras) - this is the hotel that will not disappoint the practical person. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need:

• cutlery;
• pots;
• pans;
• accessories and dishwashing detergent;
• kettle;
• plate;
• oven - microwave;
• refrigerator;
• cups, plates, salad bowls, wine glasses and more.

Even if something is missing in the kitchen, at the reception you can ask for everything you need. There is simply no need to bring anything with you from home.

Location

Artemis Hotel Apartments 3 (Protaras) is located relatively far from the sea. Many consider this a plus, as you can go to different beaches and choose the best one for yourself.

If, after leaving the hotel, turn left and follow the sign to go down a little, you will find yourself on a beautiful and comfortable beach in Fig Tree Bay - Sunrise Beach. This is probably one of the best beaches on the east coast. It is here that families with children prefer to relax. The standard road to it will take about fifteen minutes at a leisurely pace. But you can slightly reduce the travel time to the beach if you turn off the main road and go to the sea through the field. In the sweltering heat, this will come in handy.

If you turn right after leaving the hotel and then go down, you will find yourself on a whole beach line of various five-star hotels. In Cyprus, there is no ban on visiting beaches belonging to the territory of other people's hotels, so you cando not be afraid and walk freely along the Mediterranean coastline.

View from the room

For lovers of a beautiful view from the windows, it is advisable to take care of booking a room in advance. You can purchase a special room Aqua Sol Artemis Hotel Apartments 3. Protaras will be in front of you at a glance. The hotel is located in such a way that only half of the rooms have a really good view of the pool and a small edge of blue water on the horizon. In the other half of the rooms, the windows overlook the road. True, in the evening they offer a gorgeous view of the church on the mountain, which is very beautifully illuminated.

Lovers of the pool view should also think about it, because several times a week for hotel guests in the pool bar there are live music concerts or other types of entertainment programs. If you like silence or plan to sleep in during your vacation, try to choose a room away from the stage.

Experts believe that it fully complies with its declared three stars according to all evaluation criteria.
