Welcome “Kalosorisate” to Cyprus! Cyprus is situated in the Eastern Mediterranean at the cross roads of three continents. The island's strategic location has shaped its history and civilization throughout the centuries. Today Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries European culture with ancient enchantment. Here you will discover a compact world of attractive beaches and sweet-smelling mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people. Cypriots are a mixture of many trading nations on the Mediterranean. The people are open, frank and friendly to foreigners while being astute businessmen. They are among the most hospitable people on earth, always making you feel at home on the island.
Climate & Temperatures Cyprus enjoys the best Mediterranean climate with approximately 340 days of sunshine per year. South east Cyprus has the finest climate on the island with hot summers and short mild winters. From the month April to September It's the ideal season for swimming, sunbathing and a whole range of water sports from sailing to scuba diving. At this time of year, explore the archaeological sites early in the morning or in late afternoon, avoiding the hottest part of the day. It's always a good idea to bring along sun protection, such as sunscreen and a broad-brimmed hat. Even in the height of summer when it's 32C and 40C degrees upwards at the beach (and warmer inland), temperatures are refreshingly cooler in the Troodos, making the mountains ideal for hiking or simply relaxing.
