The best time to visit Cyprus is the season you like the most, because Cyprus is a year round island.
Note: We don’t have hurricane season, that’s for sure. So you don’t have to worry about that.

If you like warm weather (not hot – it differs) then you should visit the island around May, September, October…or even November. Sometimes we get warm weather in November too.
If you prefer hot weather, think about visiting us in June, July or August. However, that’s the peak season (summer) so you should book your flight, accommodation, rental car and tours well in advance.
Also, take into account that in the peak season (summer) everything is crowded…the beaches, hotels, bars, clubs, pubs, cafes, etc. However, in the other seasons there is not so much crowd and hence you can enjoy the island better – in case you like the places and beaches less crowded.
If you enjoy cold weather with mostly sunny days, then visit us around December, January or February.
In March, April and May it’s the spring season. The island is so beautiful…the best season to take pictures, in our opinion.
Although the peak season is summer (June, July and August), our hotels usually are fully booked from May to October. So plan as soon as possible and plan ahead if you wish to visit us in either May, June, July, August, September or even October.
As you can see Cyprus is a year-round island. In other European countries in November, they have the autumn season (many rainy days, some of them have snow too). We have sunny days…well mostly. It rains too, but not that much.
If, for example, you love landscaping and taking pictures then spring might be the season for you.
If you love swimming on the beaches and sunbathing under the hot sun, then summer (June, July, August) might be the season for you.
If you like warm weather instead of hot, then think about visiting us in either May, September or October.
If you love cold weather with sunny days then winter (December, January and February) might be the best season to visit our island. Having said that, please bear in mind that most of the time we also get to have snow up in the mountains.
We have rainy days during the autumn season but also we get to have sunny days too. The weather is quite warm – not hot.
…and that’s why they call Cyprus “the sunniest island in Europe”.
So the best time to visit Cyprus depends on your needs and wants for your holiday…and your budget too.
If you are on a budget, then you should also take into consideration the prices too. For example, in summer (June, July and August) the prices are quite high, even for us Cypriots. That goes for May, September and October too.
Many ask, why May, September and October? Because the weather is warm hence the sea is still warm. Best time to swim in the beaches, in our opinion.
In winter you might find discount prices but let’s not forget Christmas time. Christmas time is quite expensive too, like summer.
So plan ahead. That’s the best tip we can give you.
Therefore, as you can see, the best time to visit Cyprus is not only summer for which the island is very famous for (summer holidays in Cyprus), but also spring, winter and autumn.
The best time to visit Cyprus is the season you love…
…because Cyprus is a year-round island.
