Culture and History
Pernera has evolved from an ancient harbor and agricultural land into a vibrant tourist destination that still retains elements of its rich historical and religious past.
Historically, the area was primarily known for its farmlands and windmills, a characteristic that gives the wider Protaras area its "land of windmills" nickname.
A key feature of modern Pernera is its beautiful coastal path, perfect for leisurely strolls and connecting different beaches and local establishments.
