Protaras and Paralimni are buzzing with energy this week. Restaurants are bustling, beaches are crowded, and bars are lively with entertainment. Whether you’re someone who thrives in the hustle and bustle or prefers a quieter setting, there’s no denying that this region has plenty to offer. For those ready to dive into the vibrant atmosphere, a series of live music and party events are lined up in Protaras this weekend.
Music Element: The Ultimate Party Experience
The week kicks off with the much-anticipated Music Element event, an exhilarating electronic music party that’s not for the faint-hearted. Held only twice a year, this popular event sees tickets nearly sold out each time. DJs take the stage as early as 5:30 pm, and as the evening progresses, the atmosphere intensifies with a lineup of DJs spinning techno, EDM, and electronic music. The party vibe is elevated with fireworks, festival-themed makeup, cocktails, and a spectacular light show. Held at Ayia Triada Beach, this residential area event wraps up around midnight.
Kalifi Beach Bar: Mid-August Music Nights
Kalifi Beach Bar has curated a series of music nights to celebrate the mid-August holidays. On Thursday, enjoy a live performance by Vasilis Dimas, featuring Greek music, while DJ Andre sets the tone on the decks. Friday brings Aimili Charalambous with a mix of Greek and international hits, and on Saturday, Christina Ralli will perform Greek songs live. To wrap up the weekend, DJ Andre returns to the decks on Sunday.
Serena Beach Restaurant: Daily Summer Vibes
At Serena Beach Restaurant, the party continues all week with a lineup of DJs playing live every day to keep the summer vibes alive. The highlight of the week is a special live performance by Hovig on Saturday, ensuring guests are in the ultimate summer party mood.
Araxe je Akou: Full Moon Acoustic Night
As the holiday season extends into the following week, Protaras offers more musical delights. On Monday, under the full moon, an acoustic music performance will take place, hosted by the Paralimni-Derynia Municipality. The event, called ‘Araxe je Akou’, will be held at the square near Fig Tree Bay and in front of Nausica Hotel. Three talented musicians—Zena Melekki on piano, Irene Pelagia on violin, and Marios Stylianou on cello—will perform live for free, offering a serene end to the weekend.
