The climate of Cyprus never fails to delight its visitors and every season has a charm and beauty of its own. In the summer months Cyprus is a veritable paradise for holidaymakers offering sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters which beckon swimmers and provide the perfect conditions for sailing, skiing and all water sports under the sun. Yet a complete contrast waits in the cool, pine covered mountains Troodos, with delightful hill resorts and traditional hotels. This season brings some much-needed rain to the land, but most of its days are bright and sunny, and there is a short snow season on the mountains from January to March. In the winter the snow covered slopes offer ideal skiing conditions, with fun to be had by all ages from tobogganers to serious skiers.
