The Famagusta region
The Famagusta district , encompasses Kapparis, Paralimni, Protaras, Cape Greko and many distinct villages. Within this area there is more than enough to see and do to keep you happy for the duration of your stay on the island of Cyprus. The local town of Paralimni is a mixture of the old and the new, boasting a beautiful old town square and church as well as modern department stores and supermarkets. There is also a 24hr bakery that is so much more than just a bakery!
Just down the road is the family resort of Protaras, benefiting from the best white sandy beeches on the Island. Further down the coast - beyond the National Park of Cape Greko with its fascinating sea caves and turquoise waters - is Ayia Napa, a lively resort known for its nightlife and numerous bars and clubs and also the stunning Nissi Beech. Ayia Napa also boasts one of the largest water parks in Europe!
The Protaras / Kapparis area
Kapparis is a quiet but up and coming area, perfect for giving you the chance to escape and relax, yet close enough to larger resorts to benefit from all they have to offer. The main road, Kennedy Ave, has a large selection of bars, restaurants and shops and is ideally located very near the coast. The nearest beach to the apartment, Fireman's Cove, is just a seven minute stroll away and has sun loungers and umbrellas for a very reasonable charge. Walk up the coastal path from here and you can usually find a quiet little cove all to yourself!
The long white sandy beaches at Proteras, including the famous 'Fig Tree Bay' are only 10min by car/taxi and the hotels along this coastline welcome non-residents at their facilities. A couple of minutes further and you reach the lovely Konnos Bay and the Cape Greko National Park.

The other airport is in Paphos which is over two hours away by car but is worth considering as a route in and out of the island as it often has cheaper flights.
Regular scheduled flights to Larnaca are operated by British airways (www.britishairways.com) and Cyprus Airways (www,cyprusairways.com) and Monarch Airways - from Luton Airport - (www.flymonarch.com), Charter flights are also readily available.

Car hire is very reasonable, from £13 a day. Available from www.carrentals.co.uk, which cover Hertz, Europe car and Budget. For a hassle free holiday, why not let us arrange to have you picked up at the airport, day or night (approx £25). You can then hire a car locally as there are numerous hire companies based in Kapparis, Pernera, Protaras and Paralimni. Hiring a car is recommended (at least for some of your stay) so that you can sample all that the Island has to offer.

The apartment was well equipped if you wanted a self caterering holiday. Although there were many bars or restaurants within walking distance. If your teenagers are older than 17 then probably not enough night life. If a peaceful holiday is what you want then is a very suitable place lovely small cove and long coastal walks |

We stayed at the Blue Electra apartments in Kapparris off season, and were pleased we chose a quiet area for our break. There were nice coves within walking distance and the popular Protaras was only a short drive of around 5 minutes. Konnos Bay and Cape Greco are around 10 minutes drive and are well worth a visit. A car is a must in this location as the bigger supermarkets are 2 to 3 miles away. Have recommended to friends who were equally pleased with the apartment and local facilities. |

Great apartment, just a stones throw from superb restaurants and the beach. This was a last minute getaway right at the end of the season so it was very quiet but I spent every day on the beach from dawn to dusk and then went to the local hostelries which are excellent and you have a great choice of restaurants all within five minutes walk. I'd hired a car so we drove to different beaches but fireman's beach is only a five minute walk away and the onsite pool was always quiet. The Apartment itself is on the top floor with views of the tennis courts on one side and the pool on the other. It's air conditioned but we just kept the huge patio doors open and let the lovely breeze blow through. It's very comfortable and quiet, well furnished and well managed by a couple of well informed English expats who were lovely to deal with. The front door handle was a bit loose on the inside - we mentioned it and it was fixed the same day. We've been on a few holidays in the Canaries, Greece and the Maldives since we went here but we're going back here next time. |
Guestbook for Blue Electra
Well, what can I say? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your apartment, and couldn’t have asked for anything else to be included there. It was every bit as spacious as you said, fully fitted out, and furnished beautifully. Lounge and bedrooms great, with plenty of storage. Everything we needed for self catering. The pool area is well equipped, plenty of sun beds, lovely clean water, and nicely laid out gardens. There are plenty of lovely restaurants close by, so we could just stroll down onto Kennedy Avenue and choose where to eat. Lots of variety.
The little coves and beaches are great as well, and very picturesque. It’s a lovely place to stay, and we certainly hope to stay there again in the future. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Many thanks again.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny week. Temps 25 degrees every day and very relaxing.
Tim & Angie Hill S. Glos 13 – 20 Nov 2010-12-30
Really appreciated being met by Jill at the apartment and her running through how everything worked. More than delighted with the space in the apartment. I cooked some fantastic meals for myself and probably ate more healthily than I do at home. I thought the pool at Blue Electra was spotlessly clean and well maintained. Fantastic 10 days. I don’t want to go home yet.
Lorraine Adams Sept 5th – 15th 2010
Fantastic apartment. Good air-con (thank goodness). Faliros restaurant highly recommended for good meal.
Jill very helpful – Just a phone call away.
Eddie & Mavis August 25th – Sept 5th 2010
Had a lovely holiday in Kapparis. Very relaxing. We loved the apartment. It was clean, spacious and well equipped. The pool area was very nice although preferred the beach. Overall, we loved the apartment and will recommend to all.
Papadopoulou Family Limassol 16th – 23rd August 2010
'Wonderful - just what I needed. Late in the season but the weather's been wonderful - all day on the beaches and sleeping with the windows open is very soothing. Spent most days on the GLORIOUS Konnos Bay beach and most evenings in FALIROS restaurant just around the corner (literally) where the food & service just can't be beaten. Feel thoroughly refreshed & ready to face the winter now - thanks a lot.'

Stayed in Richards apartment for 18 nights in Sept/Oct 2008 and the weather
was fantastic. Apartment is very well equipped in a good location and provides
everything you would need. It was only a very short
walk to beach, supermarket and restaurants. We had a very pleasant stay
and found dealing with Ric (and Jill who looks after the apartment) an
absolute pleasure. Highly recommended !!!
