Mediterranean resorts offer a variety of fun activities to enjoy when the mood takes you. So don't just spend your holiday sat on the sun lounger - get out there and keep active!
Protaras has a host of vibrant bars and restaurants, many of which stay open into the small hours. This is one of the reasons many Mediterranean holidaymakers are in the area. Take a taxi to the nearby resort of Ayia Napa for some serious clubbing though, with a wide selection of clubs and bars where 24-hour party people congregate to dance the night away. It may not be clean living but dancing is certainly fantastic exercise.
The glittering Aegean playground of Kusadasi is an obvious choice for sun-worshippers, but there are numerous sights to explore while you stretch your legs and work up an appetite for the next meal. The most famous, of course, is the historic city of Ephesus, one of the most beautiful and best preserves sites of the ancient world. Dating back to 3000 BC, the Romans, Greeks, Lydians and even the legendary Amazons have left traces of their civilization and mythology here.
All this exploring ancient monuments can seem like a lot of hard work, so why not book a traditional Turkish bath, or hamam to treat your body like a temple? Choose from various hot and cold pools, massage and treatments for face and body. These time-honoured rituals are sure to leave you looking as glowing as you feel.
Scuba diving is not available at all Mediterranean resorts, but it certainly is at Mykonos. There are introductory courses available if you've never dived before that will allow you to explore beneath those sapphire waters safely during the course of your holiday. Underwater photography, night diving, deep diving and other advanced skills are all available for experienced divers who want to get to grips with underwater photography. Snorkelling is also an easy way to get to know the world beneath the surface of the sea. if you prefer staying close to the surface.
