Last-minute holidays to Cyprus

If your calendar’s looking quiet and you’re feeling adventurous, consider a last-minute holiday to Cyprus, where, after a just-over-four-hour flight, you’ll find yourself lounging on a beach or exploring historic ruins.

And with plenty of last-minute deals out there, you won’t have to spend a fortune on your impromptu beach break to Ayia Napa or your cultural getaway to Paphos either.

Why visit Cyprus?

Brilliant beaches

With long summers lasting from late May to early October, spontaneous getaways to Cyprus reliably deliver the sun, sea and sand you need. Head to the lively shores of Ayia Napa or Protaras for translucent waters, budget-friendly accommodation and cocktails in the sun. For a quieter vibe, Pissouri Bay and the beaches near Larnaca await.

Mosaics, myths and Mediterranean magic

Beyond Cyprus’s lovely beaches, there’s also a ton of history and culture worth exploring. You can potter about the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos, unwind in a 16th-century bathhouse in Nicosia, enjoy traditional Greek coffee and wander around Kyrenia’s charming harbour and medieval castle.

Food fresh from the taverna

Foodie? You’re in for a treat.Visits to Cyprus are a culinary adventure, no matter when you visit. Tuck into grilled halloumi, fresh seafood, souvlaki, stuffed vine leaves and tahini dips – all perfectly paired with local wines. For an authentic experience, dine in traditional tavernas, where your euro will also go a long way.

When to go to Cyprus

Summer is peak season in Cyprus – and this comes with peak prices. For the most affordable last-minute trips to Cyprus that will still bag you some beach time, try spring or autumn. During these shoulder seasons, you can expect nice weather in the low to mid-20s and fewer tourists.
