How to reserve a holiday rental in Pernera, Cyprus   by Teddy Lupain

Famagusta District lies on the south east coast of the island and it is considered by a lot as one of the nicest parts of the island due to what it has to offer whether it is the white sandy bays of Ayia Napa and Protaras or the traditional villages still offering that unique character that has over the years attracted a lot of people to make this area their permanent home or their holiday dream.

The district itself not only includes Ayia Napa and Protaras, two of the most known holiday resorts on the island but also is home to a lot of other small villages known as the ‘red soil villages ‘ due to the rich copperish colour of the very fertile soil. Paralimni has now become the administrative town of the area and bears little resemblance to the sleepy rural backwater of the early 1970s. Paralimni’s change began in 1974 when the town of Famagusta’s Greek-Cypriot population fled south during the invasion of the Turks. Paralimni expanded overnight and has over the years expanded

Pernera self-catering holiday accommodation is set on Cyprus’ east coast, in an area that has undergone considerable development in recent years, transforming it into a modern holiday destination suited to visitors of all ages. Pernera villas are just minutes of foot from Protaras Beach, widely considered one of the very best on the island, with endless golden sand lapped by crystal clear waters. The beach is complemented by a restaurant and also affords parasols and sun loungers. A little further from Pernera holiday apartments are Fig tree Bay and Konnos beach, with the latter found in a picturesque cove with shallow water and gentle surf.

The resort of Ayia Napa is no more than a 15-minute drive from Perenera self-catering holiday rentals. This destination is considered Ayia Napa’s most high profile nightspot, with bars and clubs in abundance here. Apart from nightlife, Ayia Napa offers a wealth of daytime activities and attractions. WaterWorld is billed as Europe’s largest themed Water Park, with numerous slides an pools. You might also like to make the short trip to Ayia Napa from an apartment in Pernera to enjoy a range of water sports, including scuba diving, canoeing and windsurfing, while motorboat hire is also available. There’s also spectacular scenery close to Pernera holiday apartments – the Kavo Gkreko National Forest offers a number of walking trails guiding walkers past magnificent caves and promontories.

Pernera villas are found on an island that enjoys as many as eight months of warm weather every. In July and August average highs can hit the mid-30s. Winters in this part of Cyprus are usually short and mild. Autumn is a good time to be at a holiday villa in Paralimni, when the beautiful beaches close by tend to be a little quieter and the weather is a little cooler.

Larnaca (LCA) is the closest airport to villas and apartments in Pernera and sits about 45 minutes away by car.

Protaras has grown over the years grown into a lovely resort attracting a lot of local and foreigners. Beautiful sandy bays stretching like a necklace from Kapparis to the main part of Protaras give people plenty to do, with watersports readily available, boat trips to view the occupied ghost town of Famagusta, crystal clear waters ideal for snorkelling and much much more. Add to this and abundance of bars, restaurants, taverns etc and you have the ideal resort that will cater for every taste and budget. With the long summers and low cost of living the Island is becoming a top destination for retirees from all over Europe. If Protaras sounds like the kind of place you would wish to spend your Cyprus holidays then do not wait for long…
