CYPRUS WEATHER

Few words

If your image of Cyprus in high season is one of scorched, drunken tourists clogging the beaches, you’re going to the wrong places. Cities such as Paphos, Ayia Napa, Limassol or Larnaca do get pretty crowded in summer, but if you rent a car in Cyprus and explore, you’ll discover some heavenly golden beaches that have been virtually untouched. Here are some of our favourites, but don’t tell anybody else.

Pachyammos Beach

In the past tradition said that ships arrived in the area and made burglaries. In this cave there was the famous Dragon who protected the area from all the evil things that happened then. It is a rocky cave, with an opening to the sea some kilometers further from the port, to the cape. The cave has lots of depth and sweet water comes from there.
