Sizzling Cyprus

Sea caves at Cape Greco, Cyprus

If you've got Cyprus holidays on your agenda this year, you'll already know that this is a sizzling destination with a cracking holiday climate. The summers are, indeed, scorching - with temperatures regularly reaching the 30s and above during the peak holiday season. In spring and autumn Cyprus holidays are often pleasant, and are generally warm without the scorching temperatures associated with the summer months. Even in the winter, there are warm and sunny days which are perfect for getting out and about to see the sights.

As for the sights, there are plenty of those to enjoy! There's the famous Aphrodite's Rock, which according to local legend is said to be the very place where the goddess herself stepped out of the ocean. There's the fabulous city of Nicosia, which is famous for its split personality - literally. It's a divided city, straddling the two halves of Cyprus - North and South. You can visit the southern part and even see the famous 'green line' which divides the two, and wander around the lovely churches, shops and cafes that adorn the city.

The lip smacking meze of Cyprus

And of course if you're here for the beaches, you won't be disappointed. From Ayia Napa to Coral Bay, Cyprus holidays boast tons of beautiful beaches, many of which are made up of glorious golden sands and pristine shores. Take a look at a tour operator like Thomas Cook to find out more about the island's beautiful beaches, and to read up on the many different resorts and hotels available. Plus, when you choose a package holiday, you can expect to have all of your flights, accommodation and local resort transfers included in the cost of your holiday, which helps to make things that little bit easier. Another great option is to make Cyprus your permanent home by setting up a business here. The process if fairly straightforward if you fulfil all the requirements for starting a business in this country. And once you are all set, you can enjoy the famous beaches, dishes and tourist hotspots of Cyprus whenever you wish for a break. It is that simple!

So, when will you put sizzling Cyprus on your holiday wish-list?

Top three European beach holidays

There’s no need to take a long haul flight to enjoy the combined benefits of sun, sea and surf – some of the world’s most stunning coastal spots are right here in Europe. These three top destinations have something for everyone, whether you’re looking to sightsee, party, or simply relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Aiya Napa, Cyprus: It has a reputation as one of the top clubbing destinations on the Med – and for good reason. In summer the resort is a favourite of the young and glam, who come to trawl the bars and clubs, ramp up the volume with outdoor beach parties and top up their tan in itsy-bitsy swimwear. Aiya Napa takes on a more relaxed vibe during the winter season, making it a good choice for a spot of out-of-season sunshine. Alternatively, if you’re planning a summer break then take a look at the nearby resort town of Protaras, which is a popular family destination. On The Beach has some great deals on beach holidays at Protaras.

Costa del Sol, Spain: The ‘Sunshine Coast’ encompasses a large section of the Spanish coastline, but with so many gorgeous beaches and popular towns in the area it’s impossible to pick out one single resort as topping all the others. Wherever you go in the region, you’ll find white-sand beaches, well-maintained golf courses and a host of nightlife destinations perfect for letting your hair down. Visit during a carnival such as the Fiesta de Los Reyes in January to see the area at its most authentic (and with temperature still in the high teens during the winter months you won’t miss out on the chance to tan either). For the culturally minded, the birthplace of Picasso makes a great day trip and the most popular areas have a scattering of fascinating museums and religious sites.

imageKos, Greece: This stunning island close to the coast of Turkey is a true Mediterranean paradise. It’s got it all: archaeological heritage, year-round balmy weather, waters bluer than the sky and a selection of resorts geared towards young people and families alike. For a taste of the local nightlife head to the village of Kardamena, popular with the young crowd; or base yourself in the main port, Kos, to experience the best of the region’s historical and tourist attractions. From wine-tasting to walking in the mountains, there’s plenty to keep you entertained when you’re not chilling out on the beach.
