Sunset Cruise Protaras: Fig Tree Bay, Blue Lagoon & fireworks

Sail past ghost towns and sea caves, then anchor at Blue Lagoon for sunset swimming

A 3-hour sunset cruise aboard the Aerosa, a traditional Greek wooden boat, departs Protaras and passes Famagusta's ghost town of Varoshia, the Agioi Anargyroi church and Pirate Caves before stopping at Fig Tree Bay for a buffet dinner and fireworks display. The route ends at Blue Lagoon for an optional swim in clear water as the sun sets. An English-speaking guide leads the voyage. Snorkeling equipment, bar drinks and refreshments are included.

The experience

You board the Aerosa in Protaras with an afternoon or early evening free. The boat heads north along the coast, passing the haunting silhouette of Varoshia, the abandoned seafront district of Famagusta, then glides past the small clifftop Agioi Anargyroi church and the hidden Pirate Caves without stopping. The captain keeps the pace moving so the light holds. The route hugs the Protaras shoreline, where the water shifts from deep blue to pale turquoise as you approach Fig Tree Bay.

At Fig Tree Bay, the boat anchors for a buffet dinner and a fireworks display over the water. You eat on deck while the night landscapes of the Protaras coast unfold around you, with access to the bar's wine, beer, cocktails, juices and soft drinks, plus seasonal fresh fruit and a homemade Cyprus dessert on the return leg. The fireworks are timed to the meal, so the two happen together.

The final stop is Blue Lagoon, where you can swim in the clear water for roughly an hour while the sun sets. Snorkeling equipment is provided if you want to use it. The boat returns to Protaras after that. The entire voyage runs three hours and is subject to weather and the captain's decision: rough seas or poor visibility can alter the route or timing, and the operator notes that cruises depend on conditions on the day.
