When to Come, When Not To
340 sunny days – but big differences between months. Your arrival month determines which Cyprus you experience first.
Best Time to Arrive
October-November: our top recommendation. 25-28°C, warm sea, tourists gone, nature reviving, cheap flights, easier flat hunting. March-May: second best – wildflowers, Easter, pleasant temperatures.
The section on "When to Come, When Not To" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
