Why you should visit Cyprus
Cyprus is known for its pleasant Mediterranean climate, making it a perfect place for those looking for a sun and beach trip. One of the highlights of Larnaca is of course its beaches, the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. But the city has so much more to offer, such as historical landmarks including the Larnaca Fort and St Lazarus Church. Don’t miss the impressive site of Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque, located on the banks of Larnaca’s famous Salt Lake.
No trip to Larnaca would be complete without enjoying the local cuisine. From the freshest seafood to traditional Cypriot dishes, the island’s local cuisine is a true feast for the senses. Some of the must-try dishes include the famous halloumi cheese, moussaka and souvla. With several vineyards across the island, you’ll have no trouble finding excellent wines to pair with your meal.
What is the weather like in Cyprus?
Cyprus is a popular destination year-round due to its mild and pleasant Mediterranean climate. Here is an overview of the different seasons in Cyprus:
Summer
The summer months in Cyprus are warm and sunny with high temperatures that can reach up to 30-35°C. It's a great season for sun and beach activities, and many beaches and tourist resorts are lively during this time. Water activities such as diving, snorkeling, and boat trips are also popular.
Spring and fall
Spring and autumn in Cyprus are mild and pleasant with average daily temperatures around 20-25°C. It's a perfect time to explore the island's cultural and historical sights, go hiking in nature, and enjoy outdoor activities such as golf and cycling. Moreover, there's less crowding at tourist attractions and prices can be lower.
Winter
Cyprus's winters are mild with average daily temperatures around 15-20°C. You can still enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and sightseeing, but swimming in the sea might be a bit too cold. Winter is also a good time to experience the local culture and participate in traditional events and festivals.
Tips for a smooth trip to Cyprus
Plan ahead and allow for some extra time
Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.
Pack smart
Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.
Stay up-to-date
Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.
MARCH 2023
Wreck diving, flamingos, ghost towns, and cozy wine bars in the mountains. We’ve put together our best tips for things to do with the family, when you need a break from all the sunbathing and swimming in the turquoise waters of Cyprus.
Wreck diving
MS Zenobia
As you’re coming in to land in Larnaca you can make out a big, dark shadow in the water. That’s the Zenobia – a 170-meter long cargo ship that sank off the coast of Larnaca in 1980, and now attracts scuba divers and snorkelers from around the world.
Walk among the flamingos
Larnaca Salt Lake
Start your day with a morning walk around the astonishing Salt Lake – not far from Larnaca International Airport – and look out over pink flamingos and thousands of other migratory birds. Visit Larnaca during the hot summer months, however, and the lake is more likely to be dry and covered in a thin layer of salt, making Salt Lake a spectacular sight all year round.
Stunning beaches
Aphrodite’s Rock
Surrounded by green spaces and large, white stone blocks is Aphrodite Beach – one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, often used for ceremonies and photo shoots. In the clear, heavenly waters lie a huge stone, where legend has it the goddess Aphrodite was born from the water.

Mountain trip
Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains, with views almost 2,000 meters above sea level, is the perfect destination if you’re looking for more than just sun and sea on your vacation. Idyllic hiking trails and viewpoints, picturesque mountain villages with locally produced delicacies, and cozy wine bars. These are just some of the highlights to enjoy on a day out.
The ghost town
Varosha
The Varosha neighborhood in the historical town of Famagusta was once a flourishing vacation destination, but became an abandoned ghost town when Turkey invaded the northern part of the island in 1974. Wander around, book a guided tour, or rent bikes to look around a place full of derelict buildings and hotels – an exciting adventure for all the family.
Luxury breakfast
Lazaris BakeryBar
Stop for a coffee or a bite to eat at the very on-trend Lazaris Bakery Bar. A popular destination for tourists and locals alike on the weekends, it’s a great place to enjoy a luxury breakfast in an authentic setting, right in the heart of Larnaca.
