In all coastal towns, the climate is about the same, so the answer is, where it is better to rest in Cyprus in April You can, on the basis of your plans for the “active” part of the vacation (you have Is there such?).

Consider the most famous resorts in Cyprus:

• Protaras is a village in the east. Usually tourists choose it because of the beaches of fine white sand that whisk in maldivian. In the unprofitable April, Protaras will appeal to those who wants to rest well, very quietly and calmly. Sit on the beach and look at the sea – what could be more comfortable, right?
• Ayia Napa – so noisy in the season, at the beginning month she stuns her silence. But not for long. In the middle April, the flow of tourists increases, and nightclubs and beaches are familiar take the crowd of young people. Reviews say that Ayia Napa is the best water park in the country, Waterworld Waterpark (€ 38 per adult, 2019th works from April 17).

• Paphos is about excursions. Beaches mostly pebbly, but you can also find sandy ones (for example, Coral Beach). April’s weather is suitable for exploring historic attractions in the area of Paphos, which is not counted. Us very impressed with the trip to the Akamas National Park – there you can take a walk on wild beaches with turtle buried in gray sand grapefruit-sized eggs!
• Larnaca is convenient for its location next to by the airport. The port city, where prices in shops and cafes are lower than for the rest of Cyprus. There are long promenade and sandy beaches with gentle entry into the sea. 3 km from Larnaca – the famous Salty the lake drying out by summer, but in early April still filled water If you’re lucky, on the pond you can see flocks of migratory flamingos that winter here.
• Limassol – the most Russian speaking year-round (many migrant compatriots). It is good with children – by the city has a lot of playgrounds, but the sand on the beaches is quite good ones – gray.

Review of Cyprus in April 2018 – is it worth it to go?

In 2018, spring was hot, the water warmed up early, so reviews about Cyprus in April are only positive. But the weather is a thing. unpredictable, and even if Cyprus in April 2019 does not give the same “almost summer”, definitely fly to the island.

If you are dreaming of a sea holiday in its usual sense (with swimming), then choose a house with a pool, and ideally heated The temperature of the sea may seem cool

But to lie in the sun would be a good idea. In April, it is not so harsh, so sunbathing, sitting down with your favorite book on half-empty beaches – for-me-cha-tel-no.
