Spring

In Cyprus the first orchids bloom in January and by mid-February the countryside is already alive with fresh green meadows and almond trees in bloom. In march days can still be cool (19C or 65F, 9C or 40F at night). Early spring is a wonderful time to visit Cyprus, with pleasant daytime temperatures and many of the ancient ruins framed by a carpet of red anemones and other wildflowers.

Summer

Summer stretches from mid-May to mid-October and means high temperatures, cloudless skies and cooling breezes from the sea. 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 it's best to explore the archaeological sites early in the morning or in late afternoon, avoiding the hottest part of the day.

Autumn

By the end of October evenings do tend to get cooler. In October and through November the leaves change colour in the Troodos mountains and vineyards take on gold and crimson hues. In Cyprus even mid-November can feel like summer and it is still possible to enjoy swimming, while inland excursions to villages and vineyards for wine tastings can be very enjoyable.

Winter

December and January are the months of Mediterranean winter, bringing the possibility of rain and snow up in the Trodoa mountains. There is still an average of six hours of bright sunshine during the day.
