Winter Holidays in Cyprus

By Clare Pixler


Winter Holidays in Cyprus

Most of us associate winter with short days and long freezing nights - and the only way to escape it is by jetting off for some winter sun. Whether or not you believe in climate change, it certainly seems like our summers are not quite the same as they used to be - then when winter comes along, it seems like it's never going to end, which can make life feel like a struggle. If you can feel a winter depression slowly descending, then some winter sun will help to put a smile back on your face - and a trip to Cyprus is one of the best winter holidays you could have.

Cyprus is pretty handy for winter holidays if you're living in Europe. While you could also soak up some winter sun in a more tropical location, for many of us the distance and high prices can make this prohibitive. Because Cyprus is so easy to get to from most European airports, and because it's such a beautiful place, it makes the ideal substitution for winter holidays in more wider reaching locations such as the Caribbean.

Abundant Winter Sun in the Mediterranean

Cyprus is blessed with one of the most fantastic Mediterranean climates, and it's only a matter of hours away for most European tourists. If you're restricted by holiday leave, you can grab a few days of winter sun in Cyprus without suffering the jetlag that comes hand in hand with further flung destinations. Its reputation as the 'sunshine island' is even substantiated throughout the winter, with up to 7 hours of winter sun beating down upon you every day.

Stepping out of the clouds and into the winter sun will help to improve your physical vitality as well as your frame of mind. Sunshine is the bringer of good things, providing crucial vitamins as well as giving us that healthy glow that makes us all feel better. Winter often feels like hard work, and the chance to get away from the Christmas preparations and celebrations can be a welcome reprieve too - you could even think about taking your winter holidays over the Christmas break and enjoying roast turkey by the sea!

Lots of Fun in the Winter Sun

Cyprus is becoming increasingly popular with travellers from all over the world, and this is largely due to its wide array of entertainment. Immersed in history and international cultures, you can explore ancient archaeological sites, beautiful museums, or even take part in some traditional dancing with villagers in the local square. If you're taking your winter holidays with children, there are some fantastic parks with a variety of activities for them to enjoy, such as animal parks, fun water parks or even sensational sculpture parks.

So for the chance to chill out, but without the cold temperatures, take your winter holidays in Cyprus and sit poolside sipping a cocktail in the winter sun.
