The largest oceanarium in Cyprus
The largest of the oceanic aquariums in Cyprus is located in Protaras - a resort town whose coast is abundant with beaches awarded the "Blue Flag" and hotels to suit every taste.
The Protaras Oceanarium can boast more than a thousand specimens, including piranhas, stingrays, turtles, crocodiles, penguins, and a multitude of representatives of other species of aquatic fauna.
