Partly due to the somewhat complicated political situation on the island, this little island seems to get more coverage in the media than many.

With the climate of Cyprus being ideally suited to those looking for summer sun, this has been great news for holiday-makers. Now become much easier to plan a trip to the island, however, it has.

The Cypriot tourist board note that sea temperatures are so good that it is suitable to bathe in the sea at any time from May to October each year. Resulting in some very pleasant sea temperatures too, summers here are warm and dry.

Fine beaches and excellent water sport facilities, taking advantage of the warm sea, such are the delights of Cyprus that it is little surprise that many choose the island for a beach holiday.
