Long Stay Holidays in Cyprus

One of the most popular destinations for a winter getaway, long stay holidays in Cyprus feature some of the best low-season weather in the Mediterranean, with the island's subtropical climate seeing average winter temperatures between 17C - 23C, and at least 5 hours of sun each day. Offering excellent value for money, long stay holidays in Cyprus generally refer to durations of one month or longer, and are available at considerable discounts for those lucky enough to have time on their hands. Usually popular with the older generation and retirees, long stay holidays in Cyprus can often work out to be a cheaper option than spending the winter in the UK, thanks to the lower cost of living once there, and savings on necessities back home such as expensive heating bills.

 

Long stay holidays in Cyprus appeal to those looking for great beaches and resorts with extensive tourist facilities, as well as a unique culture to experience and a host of ancient sites to tour. There's a choice of accommodation on a long stay holiday in Cyprus, from all-inclusive hotels with a lively and social atmosphere, to self-catering apartments, where guests can enjoy the flexibility of setting their own schedules and experience a warm home away from home. Long stay holidays in Cyprus are available in many of the major resorts, including Limassol, Ayia Napa, Paphos, Larnaca and Protaras. With these resorts usually being very busy during the peak season weeks, especially during the school holidays, a long stay holiday in Cyprus can show a different side of the island, with the now-quiet towns and villages displaying a peaceful laid-back atmosphere.

 

For those looking for more than just reading and relaxing in the sunshine, there are plenty of social programmes to keep visitors busy during their long stay holiday in Cyprus, with hotels putting on events and activities such as painting, photography and language lessons, keep fit sessions and dances. Bowling is a popular activity during a long stay holiday in Cyprus, as is golfing, thanks to the wonderful climate and ever-present winter sunshine.
