Joshua Tree, Aka Juniper Tree Ayia Napa Cyprus
In-between Protaras and Ayia Napa this lonesome tree is a landmark for tourist and residents.
In some areas juniper is considered to be a deterrent against the devil and witches. It was hung over doorways on the eve of May day and burnt on Halloween to ward off evil spirits. It was said that you would prosper if you dreamed of gathering juniper berries in winter, and the berries themselves signified honour or the birth of a boy.
During a short period of time, mainly between 1910 and 1920, the trees were rapidly cut down and burned to power the steam flour mills which were in abundance in the Paralimni area. Since then the slow growing juniper has never been able to recover. Today, although juniper and varieties of pine can still be found, trees and shrubs are mostly limited to sparse low level growth, including 14 species endemic to Cyprus. Various flowers including orchids and other rare plant species are also found here and during the springtime there are many flowers in bloom.

Joshua Tree Exists Because of Minerva Hamilton Hoyt | Lost LA | Season 3 | Episode 2
When Minerva Hamilton Hoyt moved to Southern California, she was taken with its desert landscape and went on a quest to protect it from increasing tourism and looming commercial interests. Park Ranger Joe Zarki tells how Hoyt, using a photo album that's referred to as a pitch deck, lobbied the Roosevelt administration of the 1930s to preserve the land as a national monument. It's an enduring victory for not only land preservation but for enduring accomplishments in women's history.

Paradise In Protaras 2015
Located on the south easternmost coast of Cyprus, Protaras is a popular holiday destination that boasts a fabulous selection of beaches and splendid year round weather.
Family orientated and popular with couples, Protaras offers a variety of hotels, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities to please all manner of holidaymakers.
Situated on the east side of the Island, Protaras covers approximately 5km of the golden Famagusta Coastline.
Protaras flourished into a charming tourist resort in the 1980s as a more sophisticated alternative to the buzzing and wild atmosphere of its neighbouring town; Agia Napa (located 5 miles west of Protaras).
Before becoming a tourist resort Protaras was essentially uninhabited; the area was mostly covered by a multitude of windmills, some of which still stand, adding to the character of the Protaras landscape. Artefacts uncovered during recent excavations dating back to the Greco-Roman era (58 BC - 395 AD) suggest the land where Protaras now exists may have been the ancient town of Lefkola, notable in those times for its hustling port.
Protaras became an idyllic holiday resort largely due to the beautiful sandy beaches in its vicinity. There are several excellent beaches, each developed to appeal to a particular type of holidaymaker. For instance, the main beach “Fig Tree Bay”, regarded as one of the most popular beaches on the island, offers a wide range of water-sports, while to the north of the coastline, the tranquil waters of Skoutari Beach, make for great snorkelling.
Protaras is particularly apt for package-holidays owing to the impressive array of hotels that have been built in the area since not many people actually reside in this town. Some hotels are enormous comprising several swimming pools and have been purpose-built to fulfil their guests’ every need. The “All-inclusive” deals at these hotels often cover the use of deluxe sports facilities such as: Tennis courts, Gymnasiums and Spas, and even offer useful services such as babysitting and hairdressing.
Activities
The sea caves along the Protaras coastline are brilliant for those who like to explore. There are unique rock formations, arches and hidden coves to appreciate and photograph. While some can only be classed as small crevices, others are ample caverns that you can actually go into. There are also little islets just off the shoreline to admire and one in particular is big enough to serve as a retreat for those who prefer to avoid crowded beaches, or enjoy swimming, as the sea by the main beaches can be packed with people taking part in water-sports.
The coastal location of Protaras lends itself to various interesting day-time activities. Boat trips to Cape Greko, the south-easternmost point on the island, or Varosha, located in the Turkish part of Cyprus, are available daily during the summer months.
Cape Greco is a protected nature park and is for this reason a popular stop-point/destination in Boat-trip routes. The town of Varosha is a regular destination for boat trips as it is deserted yet its houses, offices and shops are still fully furnished and equipped as if frozen in time. The town was evacuated in a hurry by its Cypriot citizens in 1974 due to the Turkish invasion and has been sealed off by the Turkish army ever since hence its “ghost town” reputation.
Despite the sudden commercial development of Protaras, hiking is still a popular day-time activity at this resort as the rugged coastline towards Cape Greko remains mostly untouched. There are a couple of nature trails from Protaras which are worth undertaking. The longer trail of the two, is 8.5 kilometers long, taking approximately 3 hours to complete. The trail begins at the limestone chapel of Profitis Elias, which was rebuilt in the 1980s on the foundations of an ancient church. The chapel’s lofty location on the summit of an enormous rock, offers hikers breathtaking views of the entire town of Protaras. The trail then moves south along the coast ending at Konnos beach.
The second trail is 2.3 kilometres long, taking approximately 45 minutes to complete. The trail is circular and therefore begins and ends at the chapel of Agioi Anargyroi. Exotic plants are the most memorable feature of this trail, particularly the fragrant shrubs of Phoenician Juniper, which are commonly used as incense in the Mediterranean.
