Beaches and Resorts

The coastline of Cyprus is world-renowned, and choosing the right town defines your holiday style. Paphos, located on the west of the island, is steeped in history and offers a mix of archaeological sites and a vibrant harbour promenade. For a more relaxed, beach-focused trip, Protaras in the east is famous for its beautiful sandy bays and clear blue waters, with options like the Evalena Beach Hotel providing direct access to the sand.

Other areas such as Chloraka and Peyia offer a more laid-back pace, perfect for those wanting to escape the crowds, while larger hubs like Limassol, Ayia Napa, and Larnaca provide endless entertainment, from water sports to a bustling nightlife scene.

When to Go and Getting There

Cyprus enjoys a Mediterranean climate that stays warm for most of the year. The spring and autumn months are arguably the best times to visit for those who enjoy warm days without the intense heat of mid-summer, making it ideal for exploring the villages or spending long afternoons on the beach. Getting there is straightforward, with frequent flights connecting major UK airports like Manchester and Liverpool directly to the island, ensuring your holiday begins as soon as you touch down.

Food and Things to Do

Cypriot culture is built around food and socialising. You will find that dining is a leisurely affair, with fresh Mediterranean flavours and local specialities taking centre stage. Beyond the dining table, the island is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you are looking to try your hand at water sports, take a stroll through the old town streets of Paphos, or simply relax by an outdoor pool, there is always something to do. The diverse geography also allows for easy trips between the coast and the more traditional inland villages like Tsada or the quieter reaches of the Alaminos and Mazotos areas.
