One of the most memorable and amazing places in the small resort town of Protaras, which is located in the South-East of Cyprus, is the Valley of the windmills. It is just a few kilometers from the beautiful sandy beach, if you go inland, near the Cape Cape Greco and the small village of Paralimni. This area is also called the "Red lands", and it is traditionally the place of cultivation of fruits and vegetables, but mostly locals there, cultivate first-class potatoes.

As the territory, which occupy the field is quite extensive, and the climate of Cyprus is not sufficiently wet for cultivation of many crops, for irrigation of agricultural land and built a system of windmills-pumps, which quickly became a real draw for tourists. After all, despite such a prosaic purpose, several hundred standing wind turbines that make a truly lasting impression, turning the valley into a very romantic place, where vacationers love to walk.

These windmills constantly supplying energy to the irrigation system, thus, forces of nature, are regularly watering plants on vast fields of this part of the island.

In addition, an important role in what this place has become so popular, was the fact that Protaras is exclusively a resort town, there is practically no special attractions besides the beaches, the Museum and several churches. And besides, to the Valley of the windmills are really easy to get to, it does not require special material costs, but will leave unforgettable impressions.
