| Renowned for its pleasant Mediterranean climate, Cyprus enjoys
long dry summers and mild winters. The sun shines for approximately
340 days each year and the light rainy season is confined to the
period between November and March.
During the islands mild winter, almond trees blossom and Citrus
fruit ripens while the mountains are covered in a blanket of white
snow.
With milder temperatures in the coastal areas, it is possible to
spend a morning basking on the sun-drenched beaches, swimming in
the dazzling blue sea and then visit the snow covered Troodos Mountains
for an afternoon skiing!
