| About Cyprus | ||
| The island enjoys an intense Mediterranean climate with long, warm and dry summers from mid-May to mid-October. The winters are mild and sometimes rainy, lasting from December to February. Summers and winters in Cyprus are separated by short autumn and spring seasons. | ||
Temperatures Summer on the island is a season of high temperatures with cloudless sky, but the sea breeze creates a pleasant atmosphere in coastal areas. The hottest month ranges from 21 – 34 °C, in the high summer the temperatures reach up to 40 °C. In the interior of the island the temperature during the coldest months is between 7 and 15 degrees. Relief is a significant factor as far as temperatures are concerned. The higher the relief the lower the temperature is. In sunny coastal holiday resorts is therefore higher temperature while the Troodos Mountains or the Kyrenia Mountain range gets more rainfall and lower temperatures. Winters are mild with some rain and only occasional quick-melting falls of snow. The whole island boasts high sunshine duration in all coastal areas, even in January there are generally six hours of bright sunshine during the day. The weather in Cyprus is really most pleasant for holidays all year round. |

| Soft sands, and deep blue Mediterranean waters welcome the visitor to the popular holiday destination of Paphos on the eastern tip of the beautiful island of Cyprus. At around four hours flying time from most UK airports Paphos has a wealth of attractions and hotels to suit every taste. Whether you are a night owl looking for the lively delights of the many bars clubs and pubs here, or whether you just want to relax on a superb beach, or perhaps just explore the narrow winding streets of the fascinating old town, the choice is yours. | ||

Apart from the range of modern amenities and great shopping, Paphos is famous for its wealth of fascinating ancient remains and archaeological treasures, including a series of fabulous Roman mosaics depicting scenes from Greek legend. The wonderfully eerie ‘Tomb of the Kings’ dating back to the 3rd century BC is another place that is well worth visiting. A hire car arranged through Travel Republic would be a great idea if you wanted to increase the range of your explorations on this spectacular island which boasts year-round Mediterranean sunshine. A perfect family holiday destnation. |
