The Mermaid Cruise from Protaras – Where Fairytales Meet the Mediterranean
I’ll be honest: when I first heard about The Mermaid Cruise from Protaras, I thought, “Okay, cute for kids.” Then I stepped onboard… and suddenly I was grinning like a 7-year-old on a sugar rush.
This 2.5-hour family adventure mixes crystal-clear Cypriot waters with pirates, mermaids, storytelling, treasure hunts, and just enough magic to make even adults forget about their phones.
If you’re visiting Protaras with kids (or you’re simply young at heart), this cruise turns an ordinary Saturday into a memory your family will talk about long after the tan fades.
Why This Cruise Is a Must in Protaras
Protaras is famous for its beaches — but seeing them from the sea is a whole different experience. Add real mermaids swimming beside the boat, pirates leading treasure hunts, and Tinkerbell-style storytelling, and you’ve got something that goes beyond a regular boat trip.
This isn’t just sightseeing. It’s an interactive adventure. Kids don’t sit still — they dance, hunt treasure, get glitter tattoos, and jump into the sea to meet mermaids at the Blue Lagoon.
If you’re looking for a stress-free activity that entertains the children while you soak in epic coastal views, this is it.
Meet Mermaids, Pirates & Fairy Friends
The magic begins the moment you leave Golden Coast Harbor.
Storytime sessions that pull kids into a fantasy world
Pirate treasure hunts led by the legendary Billy Bones
Real mermaids are swimming during the lagoon stop
Face painting & glitter tattoos for sparkly smiles
Dancing, music, and games for the whole family
It’s like a floating birthday party — even if it’s nobody’s birthday.
The Cruise Route – Protaras from the Sea
The route hugs one of the most beautiful coastlines in Cyprus. Along the way, you’ll sail past:
Fig Tree Bay – one of Cyprus’ most iconic beaches
Agioi Anargyroi Chapel – that famous white chapel perched by the sea
Cape Greco – dramatic cliffs and turquoise water
A 30-minute swim stop at the Blue Lagoon (where the mermaids appear!)
Green Bay, Cyclops Cave, Konnos Bay, Kamara Tou Koraka, Sunrise Beach, and more coastal gems
Seeing these places from the water makes you realize why this part of Cyprus feels almost unreal.
