Cyprus offers an enviable year-round lifestyle with warm winters, sun-soaked summers and plenty to do whatever the season.
From hiking in the Troodos Mountains to alfresco dining by the coast, there’s no bad time to call Cyprus home. If you’re looking to relocate to this sunny Mediterranean island, here’s what each season has in store:
Winter in Cyprus (December – February)
Winter in Cyprus is mild, with average temperatures of 12.5°C (54.5°F) [1].
This is the perfect season to explore historical sites, like the ancient Kourion amphitheatre, or enjoy cosy evenings by the fire in a Troodos mountain village.
Spring in Cyprus (March – May)
Spring brings blooming wildflowers and average temperatures of 17.9°C (64.2°F) [1].
It’s a great time for hiking trails like the Akamas Peninsula or prepping your garden for summer.
Spring is ideal for expats looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. There aren’t as many tourists around at this time of year, and there are plenty of local festivals to attend, such as the Anthestiria Flower Festival.
Summer in Cyprus (June – August)
Summer is all about beaches and relaxation, with temperatures averaging 27.1°C (80.8°F) [1].
If you’re lucky enough to have a pool, you’ll be taking regular dips to cool off! Otherwise, you can enjoy lazy afternoons reading in the shade.
If you’re planning to rent out your home, summer is peak tourist season, providing excellent opportunities for income.
Autumn in Cyprus (September – November)
In autumn, you can enjoy warm, sunny days, with temperatures averaging 22.3°C (72.1°F) [1].
It’s ideal for swimming and participating in traditional harvests, such as pressing grapes for wine.
Most of the tourists will have left by autumn, which makes it a fantastic time for peaceful nature walks in the Cape Greco National Forest Park or around the Akamas Peninsula.
Summary
From winter hikes to summer swims, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained in Cyprus all year-round. You certainly won’t get bored living on the island full time!
