My dear Hive friends, while in the days of pre-election silence in Serbia, I am not allowed to deal with political issues, I relax my brain and eyes by enjoying the photos I took a little more than a month and a half ago, while I was on vacation, in sunny Cyprus.
I have already shared with you a few photos from my walks, explained with photos what the beginning of my summer vacation looked like, and introduced you to the most famous beach in this part of Cyprus, Fig Tree in Protaras, and now I will introduce you to the coast and beaches of Pernera, a small town right next to Protaras.
Also located in the excellent Hotel Papantonia, I had the opportunity to enjoy the whole day with beautiful pools and an all-inclusive offer.
However, when I go to the sea, I don't want to spend time by the pool, I can do that in my city.
Here in Cyprus, I chose to explore the best swimming beaches and beautiful sandy coves, which I had the opportunity to see while strolling along the beautifully landscaped boardwalk.
I got to one of the beaches by making my way through the undergrowth, but the approaches to the beaches, especially those beaches where it is possible to rent umbrellas, are arranged with ramps for wheelchair access.
I found several small bays when I was walking from Pernera to Protaras, but since there is a wide bay with a well-kept beach in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, as soon as I go down to the coast, I did not stay long on those small beaches.
Going down to the water, getting wet for refreshment, and a bit of artistic expression in the form of drawn hearts in the sand is all we did on the messy beaches.
The first beach near our hotel is Potami beach.
Beaches that have deckchairs with umbrellas, unlike the last visit to Protaras, when deckchairs and umbrellas cost 2.5e each, now the price is 3e per deckchair and 3.5e for an umbrella. In addition, you have free wifi and you can rent only an umbrella, only a deckchair or an umbrella and one deckchair or some other combination...
Potami beach has umbrellas, lifeguard service, changing cabins and free toilets.
We spent two days on that beach, until, on the recommendation of our friend Nada, who has been coming to Pernera for years, we walked to the next beach.
We pass the boardwalk by the open bar, the green garden over which there is a perfect view of the open sea and we arrive at Polyxenia Beach (Pernera Gardens Beach), which we call Nada's Beach.
That beach was our base for enjoying the sea for several days.
In the vicinity of this beach when heading towards the abandoned city of Famagusta (a city on the border of the Greek and Turkish part of Cyprus), there are several more beaches that we visited, but this time I will stick to these two.
Today, when I write this post, I enjoy recalling those warm days, the smell and color of the sea, almost as much as I enjoyed sitting on this chair under the white awning at the observation deck next to Polyxenia beach.
Until the next time, when I feel like writing and looking at summer vacation pictures again, I salute you.
