STILL picking on your dream destination for this summer? Cyprus is the third-biggest island in the Mediterranean, and it's synonymous with sea, sun, fun, and budget-friendly holiday deals. When it comes to holiday costs, Cyprus frequently ends up being a cheaper option when compared with other Mediterranean locations like Italy , the South of France or even some of the Spanish islands. Holidays this summer start from £246pp, including return flights.
During the summer, Cyprus sees highs of 35C almost every day and can sometimes even hit 40C - so sunshine is practically guaranteed. For instance, in Paphos, many local bars sell local beer for around €3 (around £2.55).
According to some Tripadvisor reviewers, a bar in Ayia Napa also offers a "€10 for all you can drink" for 60 minutes. There are many resorts on the island, so you'll have plenty of options for where to stay. The most well-known ones are Larnaca, Coral Bay, Paphos, and Ayia Napa.
With many beaches, restaurants, and retail shops, Paphos and Coral Bay are great destinations for a family trip or a laid-back getaway. Ayia Napa, known as the "party city" of Cyprus, is home to several pubs , clubs, and parties, particularly in the summer. On top of the budget-friendly holidays, the comparatively short travel time — roughly five hours from the UK — is another big draw for Brits going to Cyprus.
Beaches are praised by both visitors and locals, and there are more than 55 Blue Flag spots. Fig Tree Bay is one.
