Protaras

What’s the weather like in Protaras in February?

Geographical influences

Protaras is a coastal hotspot just a few kilometres to the east of Ayia Napa, in the far south east of Cyprus. In winter months the wind speed can increase, especially right next to the Mediterranean, and the water temperature’s cooler. This stops the temperature on the land from rising too high in February.
