If you want variety in your holiday experience, Cyprus, with its vastly different east and west sections, is the perfect place for you. The east is just the place for tourists, providing lots of water sports, attractions that are full of fun and activity and wonderful nightlife. In the west, you will enjoy family fun with lots of heritage and history and a taste of nightlife adventure. No matter which area you choose, you are sure to adore this island. What’s not to love when legend has it that this Mediterranean island was, indeed, the birthplace of the Greek Goddess of Love, Aphrodite?
No matter where you are in Cypress, you can enjoy a great time and get a tan at the same time. The sun is out year-round, and there are always charming places to visit, such as the historic landmarks of Paphos, or the lovely Blue Flag beaches at Coral Bay, Protaras, or Limassol.
Today there are a number of first-class spa destinations all over the island. These have sprung from the existing Roman bath and clear-water sites. If you want to meet famous people or just be treated like one, this is the place for you. Tucked away from the fast pace of city life, this is becoming the place to be for the rich and famous.
Weather in Cypress
Cypress weather is always predictable. You will find clear blue skies and shimmering sunshine just about every day of the year. The temperatures fluctuate only slightly from season to season.
You will enjoy a Cyprus summer holiday between May and October. From December to January, you may have to watch out for rain. Nonetheless, a rainy day in Cyprus includes 6 hours of sun, so it is nothing like a rainy day in the UK.
Things to do in Cypress
There’s a lot to do in Cypress. No matter who you are or where you are from, you will find lots of fun, adventure, and interest in Cypress. Make a list of everything you want to see and do, or just show up and let the island show you the way! If you are looking for a quiet retreat, there is no better place than the sandy beach. You can enjoy water sports in the east at Phinikoudes Beach, Larnaka. For windsurfing, try Pernera, which is a beach located in Ayia Napa.
If you would rather take a hike than go water-skiing, there are plenty of opportunities. If you want to enjoy nature, visit the unspoiled Akamas National Park on the Akamas Peninsula. Here you can visit some small, traditional villages, see citrus groves, and enjoy wildlife and natural beauty.
If you are looking for a little history, drive along the coastline a short distance to the Baths of Aphrodite. Classic connoisseurs should not miss Paphos, the historical centre of the south. Outside of town is Aphrodite’s Rock. In town, you can wander through the Roman ruins. You will also be able to experience the Tombs of the Kings and the House of Dionysus. Your entire family will enjoy a trip to Paphos. Upper Paphos is filled with historic sites. Lower Paphos is filled with such contemporary fun as karaoke bars.
For lively nightlife, there are the towns of Limassol and Ayia Napa, which is quite famous. If you want a trip that’s lots of fun, be sure to visit this transformed fishing village. Today it is an absolute rave resort. The main street is filled with British restaurants and novelty bars.
