Find summer sun in Paphos

Cyprus has become a popular destination for many holidaymakers who are looking for warm weather during the summer months. We take a look at Paphos, one of the leading resorts on the Mediterranean island.

It's clear that one of the main factors that brings people to Cyprus is the climate. While summer weather in the UK can be unreliable, the island of Cyprus benefits from an extremely mild climate, thanks in no small part to its location.

Located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, this European Union member finds itself very close to a number of countries that we would consider to be in the Middle East.

This proximity helps explain the weather that is enjoyed here. Summers tend to be long and dry, with warm weather often being seen between the months of May and September.

During the months of June, July and August it is not unusual to see temperatures hit 30 degrees celsius or more. In short, the weather is perfect if you're looking for a holiday where you can relax on the beach or by the pool.

The town of Paphos, at the western end of the island, was once the capital city. Though this tag has long since passed to Nicosia, it's easy to see signs of the town's previous status.

The area includes a number of well respected historic sites, although it's the modern hotels, bars and restaurants that attract many visitors.

With a number of good quality beaches, plus the offer of sporting facilities, Paphos is perfect for family holidays. The resort does, of course, get very popular at peak times.

If you're looking for some summer sunshine then Paphos offers some great opportunities. Finding the best value deals will often be reliant on your ability to remain flexible.

Try to allow for the fact that busy times of the year do see flight and accommodation prices rise. Bear in mind that the resort attracts so many people that prices are certain to be higher during the school summer holidays, for instance.

In short, Paphos is a wonderful place to spend a summer holiday. Many people return here year after year.
