However, we do recommend coming here September-November or June. It’s not too cold or hot for you so you can fully enjoy your stay in Cyprus. Also, there are not so many tourists here and Cyprus is not so hot as in summer. Cyprus holidays in August are very popular, but Cyprus’ high temperatures and humidity can make it too uncomfortable to be outside during the day on holiday here, especially for older people or children.
Honestly, Cyprus has so much variety all year round, it’s hard not to love this island country no matter what month you decide to come here.
