Cyprus is situated in the eastern Mediterranean Sea resulting in hot summer days and balmy nights, and a mild climate near the coast in the winter months from the beginning of December to the end of March. The further inland and the higher into the mountains you travel, the cooler the air temperature, which is a great advantage in summer as there is less humidity.
The island's scenery ranges from sandy beaches to picturesque pine clad mountains, with nature trails for walkers, secluded coves for those who want peace and quiet, and skiing on Mount Olympus until the spring. It is true that you can ski in the morning and sunbathe by the pool in the afternoon during the winter months. 340 days of sunshine are recorded in an average year, the wettest month being January where the much needed rain may fall for about 10 days during this period.
The Cypriot's are possibly the warmest and most welcoming people in the world. Their hospitality has to be experienced, and this is certainly one of the main reasons holiday-makers return to Cyprus year after year and then eventually retire to their favourite location there. As the islands national airline regularly advertises, no-one visits Cyprus just the once!
Food is to be enjoyed everywhere in Cyprus, where restaurants and cafes cater for all types of palette, but travel away from the resorts and experience the true Cypriot style of eating in a village taverna where there may not even be a menu. You will not be disappointed!
