Cyprus is a Mediterranean escape where each season has its particular delights. Whether you’re wandering sun-kissed landscapes, relaxing on golden beaches, or uncovering ancient secrets, Cyprus is an island where you can find something magical, no matter when you visit.
Spring blossoms and autumn adventures
In spring, Cyprus bursts into life. From March to May, almond trees bloom across the countryside, painting the hillsides with soft pink and white blossoms. Temperatures hover at a comfortable level, perfect for venturing out to the Troodos Mountains. You can base yourself in quaint villages like Lefkara, which is famous for its lace-making, in the province of Larnaca.
Head to the 230km² of Akamas Peninsula National Park, where wildflowers transform the landscape into a spectacular living canvas and 168 varieties of birds fly overhead.
Autumn, from September to November, offers a different charm. The heat of summer mellows, leaving warm, golden days. Temperatures are perfect for exploring the 2nd century Greco-Roman theatre at the ancient ruins of Kourion, one of Cyprus’ most important city kingdoms.
Visit the numerous village wine festivals that celebrate the grape harvest with music, dancing and tastings. Both seasons reward you with mild weather and fewer crowds, making them ideal for uncovering Cyprus’s quieter, more intimate side.
Summer sun and beach fun
When summer arrives, Cyprus glows under endless sunshine. From June to August, the island becomes a playground for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Visit family-friendly spots like Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa, where shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters are perfect for children. For water sports enthusiasts, you can jet ski and scuba dive in Larnaca’s sparkling seas.
Although summer draws the biggest crowds, by planning you can enjoy a stress-free experience. Book accommodation early to secure the best deals and consider staying in beachside resorts for easy access to the sea.
Winter warmth and festive cheer
Winter in Cyprus feels like a gentle escape from the bitter cold of the UK. From December to February, you’ll enjoy mild weather that’s ideal for exploring ancient sites like the Tombs of the Kings. Here you can wander monumental underground tombs carved out of rock. Another ancient attraction is Paphos’s stunning mosaics dating from Roman times.
Join the Epiphany celebrations in January, or head to the Troodos Mountains, where snow-dusted peaks invite you to experience Cyprus’s quiet winter charm.
Stress-free all-inclusive holidays
Choosing all-inclusive holidays to Cyprus simplifies your travel experience. Resorts like Olympic Lagoon in Ayia Napa offer more than just a room – they provide gourmet meals, childcare and entertainment, ensuring you have everything you need at your fingertips.
This convenience allows you to focus on enjoying your surroundings. Take private tours organised by the resort or relax with a cocktail by the pool, knowing that your trip has been planned with care.
