Where does the best English breakfast in Protaras please ?
We'll be staying at The Louis Ayios Elias village.

Can anyone tell me which bars & restaurants will be good to go with two boys aged 5 & 3.
They get bored easily sat in normal pubs/restaurants, so if there is anywhere with entertainment or play areas that would be great :)

The Ayios Elias village is about a 10 minute walk to the main strip. Many of the bars along the strip serve English breakfast. I may be a bit bias as i work there, but the zodiac bar do a very nice full english breakfast at a reasonable price! It is about half way down the strip on the left. As for entertainment, almost all the bars have something on each night. Many have karaoke which the kids can have a go at and lots of other places have tribute acts or some kind of show. I also think your hotel has entertainment, but to be honest i'm not sure how good that would be. I lived next to ayios elias last year so any other questions fire away!

Thanks Keane :)

I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.

Before we go away, I always email the hotel to request one of the best positined rooms.
Would you know where the apartments are that are facing the sea ? I know it would be a distant view, but it would stillbe nice.

Another one is do you think it is worth hiring a car to get back up the hill ?
(Is it that bad :? )

My first thought was "can you actually see the sea, past the hill with the church on, from Ayios Elias Village"

So I Googled...

I *think* you can, there are pictures :)
...and there are some good savings to be had going DIY - check the prices (per apt, not each) at the bottom of that page.

The hill? I wouldn't bother hiring a car just to get up the hill. Its a good one, (phew!) but check it out first and then hire a car if you are struggling.

Worth a look.
Most of the people posting on there either live or have a holiday home in the area.

LesB, I'm sure you can get bitter on draught in Protaras but you might have to shop around a bit as i know some places only have cans.

Alex, i'm afraid i can't really help with the sea view question, you would probably need to ring ask the hotel. There will definitely be some of the apartments with a sea view but it will be a distant one! As for hiring a car, i really don't think it would be worth it just to get up and down the hill. If you are feeling lazy (as i often was) you can get a taxi for £4 Cyp.

LesB, yes you can mate :D . Nearest to Ayios Elias is probably Woodys, which is almost immediately opposite after you come down the hill.

:) When we stayed in Protaras last year, we found that the Cheers bar did very nice Breakfasts....... and at a reasonable price. I think it was £2.00cyp for a cooked breakfast :)

They also did lovely bar meals....... nice portions aswell :wink:

LesB,

We're going on the 16th and I'm just wondering how busy it is likely to be and will everything be open.
We went to majorca on the same date a few years ago and it was really quite. Not much atmosphere and not everything was open :(

Alex.........May's my favourite month to visit second only to September, the weather is nice without being too hot and everything should be open by the 16th.......Ayia Napa is just getting busy too and probably a good month to experience it before it gets mad in July & August :wink:

You'll enjoy it & the weather will deffo be better than Majorca at that time of year.

Alex - I went in May 2006 and it was great - weather was lovely and everything open. Quite busy but not hectic, and the good bars were packed!

I normally have my main summer holiday in June but have been in May before and it was in the 80's and pretty busy.

To be fair though anytime between early May and early October is very busy there.

To be more specific, Cyprus is great at any time of the year! 8)
