Kapparis (Greek: Κάπαρης) is a village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, close to the east coast. Although it is administered as part of Paralimni, it actually lies between Paralimni and Protaras.[1]
Kapparis is a relatively new location in the tourism industry, offering a quieter alternative to nearby Ayia Napa and Protaras, and has undergone heavy construction work to implement the appropriate infrastructure.[1] It is home to three beaches alongside numerous shops, bars, and restaurants; some of these establishments are British-owned and cater to the sizable number of British immigrants who reside in the village, as well as attracting British tourists staying in Ayia Napa and Protaras.[1] There are some air raid shelters in the area that were built during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.[1]
