Protaras, with its family beaches and Cape Greco nearby, sits just beyond Ayia Napa on the east coast. Here is how to make the trip, whichever way suits your budget and luggage.
| Option | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | ~50 min | Fixed price, door-to-door, groups & luggage |
| Taxi | ~50 min | On demand at arrivals; agree the fare first |
| Bus / coach | longer | Cheapest; direct public buses are limited — a transfer or taxi is usually the practical choice |
| Rental car | ~50 min | Exploring at your own pace (drive on the left) |
A pre-booked transfer is the calmest way to reach Protaras: a fixed price agreed in advance, a driver waiting in the arrivals hall, and a direct door-to-door ride with no stops — ideal after a long flight, with a family, or with lots of luggage. See our private transfers guide.
Licensed taxis wait outside arrivals. Cyprus taxis are metered, but for a longer run like Protaras many drivers agree a fixed price — confirm the fare before you set off. A standard taxi seats up to four with luggage. See our airport taxis guide.
On a budget, direct public buses are limited — a transfer or taxi is usually the practical choice — see our buses & shuttle guide; buses run to a timetable with limited late service and little luggage space. To explore Cyprus freely, a rental car from the terminal is ideal — remember Cyprus drives on the left. Prices, times and timetables change, so confirm close to your travel date.
Pre-book a private transfer — compare prices, a fixed rate, door-to-door, with a driver waiting at arrivals.
