TL;DR<\/strong>Cyprus has the longest swimming season in Europe<\/strong>: in June the sea in Ayia Napa is 25.7 \u00b0C and even in November still 24.5 \u00b0C. In July and August it tops 32 \u00b0C and it rains just 0.1 days a month. Paphos<\/strong> is all about antiquity and UNESCO, Ayia Napa<\/strong> is beaches and parties, Protaras<\/strong> offers family calm, and the Troodos mountains<\/strong> are 8 to 10 degrees cooler, with skiing in winter. \u26a0\ufe0f The island is divided; you can cross to the north via official checkpoints, but you need a passport<\/strong>, and with a rental car only with the rental company’s consent and extra insurance. They drive on the left, they pay in euros, and halloumi comes from right here.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Did you know that this Mediterranean island in Europe has the absolute longest swimming season in all of Europe<\/strong>? You can plunge into the waves as early as May, and even in November the sea is still an incredible 23 \u00b0C. Yet this summer paradise is also a place of deep contrasts, because barbed wire still runs across it and it hides what is currently the last divided capital city in Europe<\/strong>. Sunbathing on the beach mixes here quite naturally with exploring a complicated recent history, which makes the destination a fascinating target for any curious traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a holiday in Cyprus<\/strong> tempts you right now, you certainly won’t regret it, because this country reliably satisfies lovers of monuments, mountain treks and endless lounging on the beach. When planning your itinerary and looking for information on what to see in Cyprus<\/strong>, you may be a little taken aback by the size of the island, as driving from one end to the other can easily take several hours. Travellers often ask how the whole border between north and south actually works, and that’s exactly why I decided to put together a complete guide that answers all your practical questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you’ll find a full 24 specific tips<\/strong> on where to go and what you absolutely must not miss. I’ve prepared detailed month-by-month weather tables<\/strong> based on real ten-year data, and we’ll take a close look at both the south and the north of the island. You’ll also learn where to stay, that major carriers such as Ryanair, easyJet and Lufthansa serve Larnaca and Paphos from many European hubs (the flight from Central Europe takes roughly 3 hours 20 minutes), and how local transport works. The Republic of Cyprus is a full member of the EU and pays in euros, so you’ll get a clear idea of the prices to expect and where to find the best food for vegetarians. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
