The
sun in Cyprus generally shines bright throughout the year. As such it
keep the sea warm for comfortable swimming from early May all the way
through October. But even during the other months there are plenty of
days full of sunshine.
Even in the middle
of winter, when temperatures get on the cooler side, the sun usually
shines for the most of the day. The best place to soak up the Cyprus
sunshine is of course at the beach, and with more than four hundred
miles of coastline, there are plenty of beaches in Cyprus to choose
from.
After all Cyprus is an all year holiday
destination !
