About Green Bay

Green Bay is a sheltered shore-entry cove on the Protaras side of Cape Greco, Cyprus, with a gradual sandy approach, rocky edges, underwater statues, and a fish-rich main zone that suits relaxed dives and snorkelling. It is easy to plan as a beginner-friendly day stop, but summer traffic can be busy enough that early starts help with parking, water sharing, and a calmer experience.
