Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get there?
There are numerous airlines that offer direct flights to Cyprus from various cities across the UK. The average flight time from London is around four and a half hours.

There are two main airports in Cyprus - one Paphos and the other in Larnaca.

When is it best to travel?
You can travel to Cyprus at any time of the year and have an enjoyable break, but the peak season is between April and November, with most people choosing to travel between June and September in the main summer holiday season.

The hot temperatures in July and August may not be suitable if you've got small children, though, or if you don't enjoy that kind of heat. Moving your trip by a month or two either side of this period can mean you experience warm, but not overly hot, temperatures.

Do note that prices for accommodation can be considerably higher during the peak season, so if you can afford to book a hotel in Cyprus outside of this period, you can make significant savings on the cost of your trip.

If you're hoping to do some walking or cycling on your holiday in Cyprus, it's definitely best to avoid the summer months and instead go for spring, autumn or winter. The Troodos Mountains, which are fantastic for nature lovers, can get very cold in the winter and even see snow, so consider this if you're planning to explore this part of the island.
