The Andronica Apartments are in Paralimni which is about 2 miles from Protaras...........longish walk especially in the heat But the local bus does stop in several places and this will take you into Protaras or Ayia Napa (eventually )

I used to get a taxi and it was roughly £3-4CYP each way

Hi chris n sharon

This map shows you all the hotels and will maybe put it in perspective for you

The Andronica is to the bottom left of the map http://www.kypros-cyprus.com/maps/Protarasmap.jpg

We stayed at the Maouris Apts last time we went to Protaras......... It only took us a minute to walk to the beginning of the "strip".

From the distance on the map, It looks like It should only take you no more than 10 minutes........ I reckon around 6 minutes to walk to the "strip" Chris n Sharon.

......... theres a lovely Restaurant on your left hand side as youre walking down called the Kouzalis........... they have traditional Greek Dancing, and lovely food and wine. We went here last time we went, and are definately planning on returning again this year......... It was a great night!!! Its located right near the Andreotis Apts, whic Is where we are staying this year.

Thanks for your replies, and the map, Im reassured.

10 minutes to start of the strip is great as we have the kids with us, so just about right. Once I hit the strip I suspect we wont notice how long we're walking or where the time is going and neither will the kids !

Cant wait................... sooooooooooooooo xcited. 21st june coming quickly.

Once again thanks.

How old are your children chris n sharon?
Im only asking because as you pass the Maouris Apts, and before you get to the first Bar, theres a Mythology Fair at the side of the Bar, set back as you go down some stairs.

It has rides, Go karts etc. My children were 11 and 9 when we went, and they used to love going In there when we had a Beer or two waiting for them.
Theres also a bigger Mini Golf place further up, as you stay on the main road. Takes a bit to get around It (especially If theres 4 of you like us ) but Its a good laugh!

hi cookie,

the kids are 3 and 6. 3 year old will be in a buggy but 6 year old will be walking.

we're gonna see how we go on, might get taxi back to be honest especially if kids are tired, but we normally go for a walk each evening helps to break the time and helps with the waist line !!!

I am looking for a good kiddies disco or face painting type thing if anyone knows of one, need a nice family pub where we can have a drink and give the kids some freedom whilst being able to keep an eye on them, obviously there ages are a little prohinitive in this respect.

Well Protaras Is really kids orientated....... you shouldnt have any trouble finding places where kids are well catered for.

....... you will love It.

Good tip though....... keep away from the Waterpark and Beaches on a weekend as they do get pretty full.

Best going midweek, especially Wednesdays as this Is a big day for Airport arrivals and departures.

The map I have here shows that the Andronica are in the Green Bay area of Protaras . It sits in the bay between the Cavo Maris and the Mimoza beach Hotel it is a nice area with quiet bays.

it is a fair walk to the strip but you could bus it in and taxi back. or if you dont mind not drinking you could hire a car,

last year lot of kids in flintstones bar (at top of strip furthest away from you) but if you saw the jeep driving about they would stop and pick you up they keep the kids busy whilst you drink. we follow 4 days after you will be hot

Guys wot an amazing site,.

Thanks for all your help. I heard form a mate that flintstones is good for kids so will definitely try there.

Have been spreading the word of this site today and all my mate are loging on to check out there accomodation etc... Will definitely post a review when I get back.

Willy hope to see you in flintstones during our stay then will you carry a copy of the gardeners weekly so I know who you are ! lol.

Seriously guys thanks for all your help.

Cant wait, dont mind busing into town if need be and taxi back, will look out for the jeep too.

Anyhows keep it going, congrats to the site owners and moderators.

2 weeks to chill cant wait in dire need of a break and some fun.

chris n sharon - We're in Pernera the same time you're out there (fly 18th June) and as we have my mates two kids with us we may well pop into Flintstones for a Keo or three so will look out for Gardeners worlds
