Protaras Holiday Villa El Greco is a seafront villa with unobstructed sea views ideally located in between the lively resort of Protaras and the scenic area of Capo Greko, just 300 meters from Mimoza Beach and very close to the Blue Flag Beach of Konnos Bay.
A comfortable footpath provides easy access to the sea directly in front of the villa. Even though this is not a sandy beach, the waters are crystal clear and super clean. The nearest organised Beach is Mimosa and is only about 3 minutes' walk from the villa, a small white-sand beach that offers a small restaurant, sun-beds and parasols.
The beach at Konnos, a Blue-Flag destination, is complete with proper facilities and its charming beach cafe-bar.
Overlooking the action in the bay is "Cliffs", a great place for a drink and with a touch of intimacy and romance. Other venues overlooking the Bay are "Spartiatis", a clean local tavern liked by locals and visitors alike.
El Greco Villa is about 30 meters from the seashore of Cape Greco, a pristine Mediterranean landscape, inviting during the spring to autumn seasons, and great for outdoor hikes and nature trips during the winter. This environmentally sensitive coastal area belongs to the Cape Greco National Park, a rugged landmass of dramatic features that has been sculpted by the cape's weather into an amazing number of bays, coves and projecting headlands, with a rich history dating back to neolithic times. The Park is laced with minute forms of nature, tiny survivors on rocky, dry grounds, tough small trees wedged in impossible positions and acres of pines above this coastline. The entry points to the sea are many, some do require an adventurous disposition.
Protaras
A more family oriented resort ideal for children of all ages has numerous crystal clear water and white sand beaches, the most famous of which is Fig Tree Bay and Sunrise Beach which are about 2.5km from the Villa or about 5 minutes' drive. Near these beaches is the Central Protaras Strip where most of the hotels, shops, bars and restaurant are located. In the same area you can find supermarkets, pharmacies and a clinic.
Protaras is a fully grown resort offering all amenities, facilities and water sports that would make your holiday a great one like Luxury Yacht Charter, Catamaran Leisure Cruises, Undersea Walking, Deep Sea Fishing, Power Boat Safari,Black Pearl Pirate Ship, Water Parks, Aquarium, Gourmet Dining, World Famous DJs, Water Sports, Scuba Diving and much more,
Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa, a land where the world’s colours meet and harmonize. Discover golden sandy beaches beside crystal clear turquoise waters. Enjoy all the latest sea sports, challenge your strength and endurance and possibly discover new realms of potential within.
Lazily bask in the warmth of the sun. Take a cruise around Ayia Napa’s coastline. Shop in trendy boutiques and talk with the locals. Wander picturesque streets, take in colourful seasonal festivals and treat your taste buds to delicious local and international favourites.
Day and night enjoy Ayia Napa’s many restaurants, pubs, cafes, taverns and clubs. Live professional nightly entertainment is provided by many hotels throughout the summer. Look forward to fine casual atmosphere and service with a smile.
Visit the medieval monastery dedicated to Our Lady of the Forests, surrounded by a high stone wall. Its 16th century church is partially underground, cut into the rock. An ancient sycamore tree, believed to be over 600 years old grows in front of the south gate, its beauty praised by the Greek Nobel laureate, George Seferis, in his poetry.
At Ayia Napa take in the island’s culture with a visit to the Thalassa museum, created around a sea theme and with its life size replica of an ancient sailing ship found sunk off the island’s north coast.

Provide a trash receptacle on premises. The rubbish area is at the entrance of complex. Would be better if could be taken care of by cleaning staff at 6 day mark when they come to clean.

We loved the pool area which included the garden and sea view, nice outdoor comfortable furniture. The area was quiet but only minutes drive to shops and restaurants. The beds were really comfortable with quality bedding, everything you need for self-catering stay, well stocked kitchen with good appliances. Staff were on hand to deal with any enquiries, quickly and effectively, the toaster didn't work, a new one was delivered within an hour of reporting, impressive service. Highly recommend this company, we will definitely book again.

my personal feeling: too soft mattress on the bed, had to get to used to it.
few plumbing issues on the second floor: 1/ one shower is not switching to watering can (upper one), another showever doesn't have a proper switch/lever for an upper watering can. some doors are heavily can be closed. one lighter switch is broken on the first floor next to security alarm box. and alarm box itself fix is not stable. but, none of these actually has any weight on disliking the place therefore didn't impacted our overall stay at all. I believe one day will be fixed. the rest, looks and feels very good! thank you! |

We spent a wonderful time in El Greco Seafront Holiday Villa. Villa has everything you need for the comfortable stay. Little technical problems with some appliances at the beginning of our stay was immediately solved by managing team who was very polite and attentive.
Villa is ideally located near the sandy beach (5 min walk) and rocky sea shore (2 min walk) where we were snorkeling. A lot of outside seating areas made our mornings and evenings very pleasant either for morning coffee enjoying blissful sea view or family dinner overlooking multicolored sunset sky. The bedrooms a big and comfortable. Kitchen has all appliances you may need to feed the families the days when you dont want to go out. Big cosy lounge with multichannel TV is very tastefully decorated as well as all bedrooms. We would definitely recommend this villa for people who want quality holiday! |
