A short stroll through the main street of
Kapparis is highly rewarding for many reasons. This street was actually the
main coastal road to Famagusta in olden days. Famagusta, once the flourishing
place in Cyprus with its safe beaches and white sand, has gone to devastation
after the Turkish invasion. Now it is a secluded locality with deserted beaches
and empty hotels.
‘Protaras aquarium’ which is situated at the
opposite end of the main street through Kapparis has a special treat for its
visitors. A beautiful cove with a lovely church overlooking the sea is another
treat which Kapparis offers to its tourists.
The buffer zone that divides the island into
North Cyprus and South Cyprus is at a walk able distance from the main street
of Kapparis. This zone has two admirable things- an information center and a
zoo. The information center outlines the history of the division of Cyprus. The
zoo has a tower from which one can see across the borders of Cyprus.
The fireman’s beach is also at a walk able
distance from the main streets of Kapparis. The beach was named so because of
its proximity to a training institute for fire service.
Kapparis, with its
extolling scenic beauty, quiet beaches and friendly people is what you need if
you are looking for a pleasing and lovely holidaying completely ignorant of the
hustle-bustle of modern life.
