About Paralimni
Fig Tree Bay anchors Paralimni’s beach-resort appeal, with Mediterranean shores, family activities and water sports on Cyprus’s southeast coast.
July and August bring Paralimni’s peak beach season, while four to seven days gives time for its nearby attractions.
Cape Greco National Forest Park offers coastal scenery and swimming spots, and WaterWorld Ayia Napa and Protaras Ocean Aquarium add family outings. The town’s relaxed, lively atmosphere extends to tavernas serving souvlaki, halloumi, meze and kleftiko, with a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon among the local highlights.
