Why September is the Ideal Time to Visit Paphos
Located on the southwest coast of the island of Cyprus is the beautiful and scenic city of Paphos. This Mediterranean destination not only has a stunning summer climate, but the mild winters are an attraction for tourists all over the world. While July to August are popular months of the year for visitors looking to frolic in the sea and work on their tan, September is the time to grab some of the best holiday deals. Here’s why Paphos should be on your travel list for September!
While most of the crowd loves visiting Paphos from July to August in the summer months, September is perfect for travellers looking to enjoy the city without the crowds. It’s still a popular time, but you won’t find as many people on the beach or walking around the tourist landmarks. Also unlike the European cities where the weather starts to get a little chilly signalling the arrival of autumn, September is perfect in Cyprus, offering you near-perfect weather conditions where the sea is still warm enough to swim in and the days are not as scorching hot during the daytime.
The weather during the day ranges from 23°C (73°F) and 29°C (84°F) and the nights are generally cooler around 19°C (66°F). It’s just enough to put on a light jacket while still enjoying the shorts and sandals season. With a dip in the crowd numbers, you’ll find hotels & other accommodation spots offering the best deals and discounts. Even cultural spots like museums and galleries provide free and discounted rates for events and shows!
If you love the outdoor festivities but can’t travel on long hikes or don’t like cycling on local trails, then check out the city’s natural gardens or parks. There is even the popular Paphos Zoo and the Aphrodite Water Park which is perfect if you’re travelling with children.
Paphos is the city of history, dipped in culture; which makes booking guided tours around the city worth it! Guided tours, walking tours and even sailing tours offer you private options to choose from. Pack your swimwear, shorts & sunscreen and carry a light jacket with a small umbrella for protection against light rain. It might not be summer in Paphos, but it’s still warm enough to enjoy the Mediterranean climate without worrying about the cold. Book your flights, grab those discounts and have the time of your life!
