Cyprus is a favourite year-round destination. Summers last from March to October and while the winter months are quieter, one can still find the climate amicable for beach activities round the year.
In 2015, Cyprus was once again awarded with Blue Flag status for 57 beaches, which is the highest number per coastline in Europe, as Cyprus has some of the cleanest coastal waters in Europe.
In honouring this, here are 5 + 1 activities you have to do if visiting Cyprus over the summer:
