Protaras – Paralimni

The natural beauty of the Protaras-Paralimni area could well have been created especially for weddings and honeymoons.
Blessed both with Europe’s earliest sunrise and romantic sunsets as well as crystal waters and golden sands, Protaras is, according to its municipality, the ideal place to spend the best day of your life.
As well as the specially modified site at Paralimni Town Hall, other available locations include a traditional house and outdoors areas by the waves including the Pernera Blue Waters location.
Ceremonies at the Town Hall take place in a specially modified space that can hold up to 100 people. It includes covered chairs, a white carpet and tastefully decorated piano adorned with flowers and crystal candle sticks.
Profitis Elias Gardens is a location characterised by romanticism and calm. Seasonal flowers add a burst of colours that will make your photos of this memorable day even more special. Chairs at the venue are covered as is the stone seating. Flowers and candles will adorn the marble table on site. The location also has access for those with mobility difficulties and toilet facilities. For a traditional flavour, a 19th century house in the old centre of Paralimni may be the place for you. Restored to its former glory, the house’s picturesque interior courtyard boasts traditional Cypriot archways.
The location also has toilet facilities and is accessible to those with mobility difficulties.

The site is accessible to people with mobility problems while an added advantage is being able to enjoy music of your choice during the ceremony.
