The best time to enjoy the beaches of Cyprus is during the summer (June – August). Be prepared to pay high hotel costs and to share the beaches with plenty of tourists, because this is the peak tourist season in this island nation. Get pleasant conditions and good weather by visiting Cyprus during the shoulder seasons of spring (April – May) and autumn (September and October). You’ll find more hotel deals during these months and fewer tourists visit around this time. The spring and autumn provide ideal opportunities for enjoying the numerous mountain and nature trails around this country in the Mediterranean.

Before you leave for Cyprus, make sure to get all the routine vaccinations. Check with your local health practitioner for more information. Additionally, depending on your activities in Cyprus, you may need to guard against other diseases such as hepatitis A (transmitted through contaminated food and water), hepatitis B (transmitted through sexual contact, contaminated needles and blood products) and rabies (transmitted through the bites of infected mammals, such as bats and dogs).
Northern Cyprus is relatively safe. The cautionary steps you should take include avoiding talking about politics and disrespecting the local religion and traditions (Islam is the dominant religion). Simply observe the locals in the city and follow their lead.
In Southern Cyprus, be careful of accepting drinks from strangers. Watch out for establishments being advertised as cabarets, since these could instead be brothels that are associated with organised crime.
