Best time to visit Cyprus

While Cyprus is a popular destination to visit all year round, September-October is the ideal time to go due to a number of factors such as the climate, cost of travel and accommodation, as well as avoiding peak holiday periods.

The very hottest temperatures in Nicosia, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Cyprus, tend to reach around 36℃ (97℉) in the height of summer. The weather at night in the winter, which is around January-time, can get down to a minimum of 7℃ (45℉) in Nicosia. Other destinations in Cyprus can sometimes get even colder than this, so if you’re planning on visiting a few different places, make sure you check out the climate comparison table below.

The days are longest in Cyprus in July, so if you want to see the sights during the day when the sun is up for the longest time, it’s best to visit around that time of year. To stay dry, avoid travelling to Cyprus in January – It’s the wettest month of the year.
