Setting Sail on the Cypriot Waters

The sun was just beginning to rise as I made my way to the Ayia Napa Harbour, the anticipation of the day ahead bubbling within me. As a marine biologist, the ocean has always been my sanctuary, a place where I find both peace and excitement. The Discovery Boat Tour from Ayia Napa to Protaras Coast promised a blend of both, and I was eager to experience it firsthand.

Upon boarding the two-level Discovery Boat, I was greeted by the vibrant colors of the Cypriot waters, a sight that never fails to take my breath away. The boat was bustling with fellow adventurers, all eager to explore the unspoiled beauty of the coastline. Our host, full of energy and humor, set the tone for the day, ensuring everyone felt welcome and ready for the journey ahead.

As we set sail, the gentle rocking of the boat and the sound of the waves created a calming rhythm, a reminder of why I love the sea so much. The first stop was Konnos Bay, where we had the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters. The feeling of the cool water against my skin was invigorating, a refreshing escape from the warmth of the sun.

Discovering Hidden Gems

The tour continued along the Eastern coastline, revealing the hidden gems of the region. The sea caves, with their rugged beauty, were a sight to behold. As we approached, the sunlight danced on the water, casting shimmering reflections on the cave walls. It was a moment of pure magic, one that reminded me of the wonders that lie beneath the surface of the ocean.

Coco the parrot, a charming addition to the crew, provided entertainment with his playful antics. Watching him interact with the guests, even getting his nails filed, added a touch of whimsy to the day. It was a reminder of the diverse life that thrives both above and below the water.

As we sailed past the Blue Lagoon, the vibrant hues of the water were mesmerizing. The lagoon’s beauty is renowned, and seeing it from the boat offered a unique perspective. The contrast of the turquoise waters against the rocky coastline was a sight I won’t soon forget.

A Day to Remember

The final leg of the journey took us to the Famagusta Ghost Town view, a hauntingly beautiful sight that left a lasting impression. The history and mystery of the area added depth to the tour, a reminder of the stories that the sea holds.

Throughout the day, the crew ensured we were well taken care of, with delicious food and attentive service. Petra, one of the hosts, was particularly attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Her warmth and hospitality added to the overall enjoyment of the day.

As we returned to the harbor, I reflected on the day’s adventure. The Discovery Boat Tour had exceeded my expectations, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. It was a reminder of the beauty and wonder that the ocean holds, a testament to why I am drawn to it time and time again.

For those seeking a unique way to experience the Cypriot coast, I highly recommend the Discovery Boat Tour. It’s an adventure that promises both serenity and excitement, a journey that will leave you with memories to cherish.
