Kapparis (Greek: Κάπαρης) is a village located between Paralimni and Protaras in the Famagusta District of Cyprus.[1] It is a relatively new tourist location, offering a quieter alternative to nearby Ayia Napa and Protaras.[1] It has three beaches and numerous shops, bars, and restaurants; some of these establishments are British-owned and cater to the sizable number of British immigrants 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 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus.[1]
