Winter In Cyprus
Cyprus continues to be a popular tourist destination during the winter months
of December, January and February. Although winter normally brings the rainy
season, there is still an average of six hours of bright sunshine a day and
it isn’t uncommon for visitors to be seen wearing shorts and sandals during
the day! This being said, it is wise to bring warm winter clothing for any
rainfall and the evenings, when temperatures drop.
In the coastal resort of Paphos, visitors have the advantage of being able to
watch some of the most stunning sunsets of the year during winter and by the
time February arrives, the almond trees are in bloom.
Outdoor activities can be enjoyed at this time of year and conditions are ideal
for skiing in the Troodos Mountains inland, particularly in January.
