It's not in Paralimni Chris n Sharon

Andronica is out the other side of Protaras - towards Cavo Greko.

Although Paralimni is worth a visit in my opinion.

Ady

ooooooooo bugger thanks pubdog good job we've got transfers !

Hope there are some bars within walking distance and a supermarket !

Paralimni is the local administrative town. There are some shops.

fwh

There is not much in Paralimni, three churches in a main square, a few little bars and shops around the square.

Cheaper than nearby Protaras and ok for a half day out.

we've booked a villa in this resort not far from ayia napa
its a brand new villa, we will be first to stay in it (if no-one books between now and july 5th)
i'm after general info about paralimni
so c'mon, tell meall about it...PLEASE

Hi we have a villa in a place called Ayai Triada which is close to paralimni other close by places are pernera and protaras. Paralimni has a few bigger shops Marks and Spencer no food though. there is a big supermarket in paralimni so you can stock up when you get there. you arrive 3 days after us. anything else you need to know just ask. have a nice holiday

See the other recent post "Paralimni... tell me more..." - Paralimni itself is the administrative town for the municipality (ie county) of Ammochostos. Depending where you will be, it is only 10 or so minutes drive to the beach.

The villa could be in Kapparis which is an 'area' of Paralimni beween the town and the coast and has a few bars and restaurants which may be within walking distance.

Or it could be in Pernera or Protaras which are more commercialised areas of Paralimni.

Have you got any driving directions yet to pin it down?

See this map of Famagusta aka Ammochostos. Pernera and Kapparis are above Protaras along the coast.

As already noted, Paralimni is the main admin centre for the area.

Protaras is the holiday resort of Paralimni.

There is not much in Paralimni, three churches in a main square, a few little bars and shops around the square.

Quite good for ceramics, and fresh fruit and vegetables.

Cheaper than nearby Protaras and ok for a half day out.

Once you get to know Paralimni there are lots of shops , well I seem to disappear for hours on end so my other half tells me.

There are loads of shops along the main street 1st April Avenue and a new shopping eporium with a fantastic shoe shop at the end of the main street at the Cytamast end.

The streets surrounding the main squeare you will find more shops but it does take a bit of getting used to even for the likes of me who goes regular everytime i go i have to try and remember where the streets lead to. but I do think there is more to it than a few churches and a few shops you just have to know where to find them

There is a new upmarket bar/coffe house called SENSO right opposite the church and some of the other bar/coffe houses have refurbished through this winter and the square is looking very nice .
The buses from the main tourist areas take you right into the square also parking avaiable across from Marks and Spencers or behind it.
