Heure Actuelle à Protaras, Chypre — Asia/Famagusta.

Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort that falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Municipality of Paralimni in Cyprus. In ancient times, the area now known as Protaras, was home to the old city-state of Leukolla. The city had a small, safe harbour where Demetrius Poliorketes sought refuge in 306 BC, lying in wait for Ptolemy, one of the successors of Alexander the Great. In the ensuing battle, Ptolemy was defeated and fled to Egypt, leaving Cyprus briefly in Demetrius's hands. Protaras is also known as "the land of windmills" which preserves the nostalgic quality of the past.

Distance-wise, Protaras is closest to Dubai (~2,307 km), London (~3,275 km), Singapore (~8,088 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 14,350 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
