Cyprus at a Glance!

It's not always easy choosing a place to go on holiday, but Cyprus can tick all the boxes, no matter what time of year you end up going.

Rated one of the best places to go for winter holidays by the BBC, Cyprus is a great place to sit back and relax while enjoying warm temperatures throughout the day all year round. The evenings can be a bit chilly, but for anyone enjoying the outdoors winter in Cyprus is lush and green, perhaps at its most picturesque. If you're not a fan of crowds, post-Christmastime could be an even better reason to skip town and hit a quiet beach.

You can spend your summer 2012 trying out the bevy of watersports on hand throughout the island as the hottest temperatures are from June to September, and the Mediterranean is the ideal way to cool off. Go to Aphrodite's Island for a day trip to see some landscape and soak up some culture as well as history. It's also the perfect way to wear the kids out.

For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the spring is also a great time to go, as it's not too hot to do a little walking. There's plenty of trails to trek in these pleasant temperatures, traditional villages to explore and castles to have a wander around in while you're on the island without the heat holding you back.

The autumn is a bit quieter, with temperatures still warm during the day but a welcome relief in the evenings not granted in the summer.

Water sports continue in the warm Mediterranean until about early November. As the months leading up to Christmas time are not as busy as the summer months, you'll also be able to make the most of bargain prices and a quieter stay.
