When to go to Cyprus with children?
A short flight and a comfortable climate make Cyprus a popular resort for family holidays. Children love to swim, so choose months for your trip when you can splash around in the sea to your heart’s content, but not yet swelteringly hot.
- May is the best time to travel to Cyprus with kids. The season of winds and rains ends and the beach season officially opens. The water is still quite cool, 24°C, but the well-warmed air creates comfortable conditions for relaxing on the shore. And in May, the first local fruits appear – strawberries, watermelons and melons.
- June – at the end of the month the water becomes warmer, 25°C and warms up well off the coast. All beach activities are open: slides, inflatable pools and trampolines. You can stay on the beach under an umbrella until the evening, the air is warm and the weather is calm.
- September is the velvet season. The air temperature is 30°C and the water temperature is 27°C. In the second half, the sweltering heat subsides and there are not many vacationers on the beaches: the most comfortable time for a vacation by the sea with children. The beginning of autumn is the season for inexpensive fruits that children love so much.
Advice!
When going on vacation with children, be sure to stock up on sun protection products with SPF 50+.
When to go to Cyprus for a beach holiday?
Purely theoretically, you can swim in Cyprus all year round : the water temperature does not drop below 15°C even in winter. But the rainy and windy season will prevent seasoned tourists from spending the whole day on the beach.
Spring
- April – unofficial opening of the beach season
- May – really warm summer weather arrives
Summer
- June is the sunniest month; lovers of a beautiful tan are guaranteed an even bronze shade
- July – it gets really hot, but until the middle of the month the hot weather is quite easily tolerated due to high humidity
- August is a real scorcher and the hottest month of the year
Autumn
- September is the velvet season in the Mediterranean
- In October , the beaches become noticeably empty, as the holiday season ends and you can freely sit at the very edge of the water
On a note!
Daylight hours in Cyprus are longest in June and last 12 hours – you can stay on the beach for as long as possible.
