Cyprus is set apart because of the beautiful weather due to the powerful Mediterranean climate. The summers in Cyprus are long and dry, beginning in the middle of May until late October. The normal temperature in summer is between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. A winter holiday in Cyprus involves packing for all types of weather, but the reward is a clear atmosphere, no tourist crowds and the chance to ski in the morning and the chance to relax on a sunny terrace along the harbor in the afternoon.
