Best time to visit Cyprus
Best time of year to visit Cyprus
April through October is considered to be the best time to visit Cyprus. Spring usually begins in February, but Aphrodite trail and Troodos mountains are better to be explored from April to May. Accommodation is cheaper in spring too. Hot summer is often crowded, perfect for diving or tasting halloumi cheese while passing the time on the beach. Heat lasts until October when prices begin to fall. You'll have a great chance to surf or meet magnificent flamingoes in November. Cyprus skiing opportunities are limited, but they are worth trying during cold winter as well as being a part of Limassol Festival in February.
