Tips for Planning a Holiday in Paphos, Cyprus

You'll find some of the best examples of ancient art and architecture in the city of Paphos. Paphos' history is so important that UNESCO has declared the whole city to be a part of their list of cultural and national treasures. It also boasts a beautiful port and beach for those who prefer a more natural landscape. If that sounds like an ideal spot for your next getaway, here are some of the things you need to consider when planning a holiday in Paphos.

You should keep the weather in mind when scheduling your visit. You can expect warm, sunny weather most of the year in Paphos. You can expect the warmest temperatures in July and August, when the heat of summer reaches its peak. January and February are the coldest months, with lower daily high and low temperatures, though the high will still be in the high teens Celsius (mid to low 60s Fahrenheit). You can also expect the most precipitation in the winter months, with the most rainfall in December. The rest of the year will be dry, though, with summer rains being nearly unheard of.

Another important thing to keep in mind is other people's travel schedules. Paphos gets the most visitors in the summer, but particularly in August. Foreign visitors from all over the world flock to the city then, alongside visitors from the rest of Cyprus who want to take advantage of the beaches during the peak heat of summer. This makes accommodations harder to find, and more expensive, so if cost is a major concern for you, you may want to visit during the quieter months. If you really want to visit in August, you should book your Athena Royal Beach hotel well in advance.

If you're traveling to Paphos from the EU or one of several other countries, you don't need a passport or visa as long as you carry your national photo ID. Any other visitor will need a valid passport that won't expire for at least three months from the date of your arrival in the country. If you will be in the country for less than three months, you don't need a visa if you're traveling from Australia, New Zealand, or the US. Visitors from the UK have even fewer restrictions. If you aren't sure what the Cyprian government requires from visitors from your country, check with the Cyprian government installation in your area.

If you're going to travel to Paphos, it's important to make some preparations before you go and this includes a reservation for your stay at the Asimina Suites Hotel. You may wish to invest in travel insurance before you leave to make sure that any unforeseen problems won't cost you too much to correct. It's also a good idea to invest in a travel medical insurance policy.
