No Snow, But Also No Summer
Milder than expected (10-18°C coast) but more uncomfortable than thought (poor insulation, no heating, 70-80% humidity). Short (Dec-Feb), green (landscape explodes), social (hiking/cycling season begins).
What to Expect
Temps: coast 10-18°C day, 5-10°C night. Troodos: snow. 10-15 rain days/month. 6-8 hours sunshine (Germany: 1-2). Sea 16-18°C (too cold for most). Layer clothing, rain jacket, closed shoes.
