Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
January in Cyprus is on the cool side — with highs around 18°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 18°C, cooling to 10°C at night (daily average: 13°C). With 5 sunshine hours per day and 8 rain days (90 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 17°C, the water is still quite cool in January — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Zyperns mildester Winter im Mittelmeer: Strände im Januar mit wenigen Sonnbadenden, die Troodos-Berge manchmal mit Schnee. Keine Touristenwellen, authentische zypriotische Küche in Paphos und Larnaka.
