When Is the Best Time To Visit Cyprus?
The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Cyprus depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.
Tourist Season in Cyprus
Cyprus can be visited at any time of the year, however, the best time to visit includes the summer months - from May to September. Temperatures then exceed 30°C, and rainfall is sporadic. Heat waves can be oppressive for some people, so it is worthwhile to rest on the coasts, where high temperatures are mitigated by sea breezes.
April (spring) and October (autumn) are also very good months for travel. The heat does not bother, it is warm and sunny, there may be some fleeting rains, but they do not significantly hamper the visit.
When organizing a trip in winter (from November to March), you need to take into account slightly lower temperatures and increased rainfall, which can slightly complicate your vacation. However, even in these months you can count on a considerable dose of sunshine. In the Troodos mountains from December to March you can go skiing.
