What is a Protaras holiday and why is it ideal for families?
A holiday in Protaras is a premium choice for families and couples looking for calm, safety, and Blue Flag beaches in Cyprus. Unlike the buzz of Ayia Napa, Protaras offers All Inclusive hotels right on fine-sand beaches, a gentle sea entry (great for kids), and accessible packages via direct flights from Chișinău.
Summer 2026 is shaping up to be the season of rediscovering true comfort. If you want a destination with simple logistics and postcard scenery, Cyprus’ east coast is the answer. At Admiral.Travel, we’ve prepared complete packages that turn travel into a smooth experience—connecting Chișinău Airport to crystal-clear Mediterranean waters in just a few hours.

Why Protaras and not Ayia Napa? A quick comparison
Even though they’re neighbors, the two resorts serve very different needs. Ayia Napa is famous for nightlife, while Protaras is a sanctuary for relaxation. Here, “nightlife” usually means a long dinner at a local taverna or a moonlit stroll along the promenade by the iconic Fig Tree Bay. For families from Moldova, Protaras offers predictability: safe, resort-style settings with kid-focused facilities.
